[Public— No. 9.] 
AN ACT To establish a national military park at the battlefield of Shiloh. 

Be if enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America 
in Congress assembled, That in order that the armies of the southwest which served in 
the civil war, like their comrades of the eastern armies at Gettysburg and those of 
the central west at Chickamauga, may have the history of one of their memorable bat- 
tles preserved on the ground where they fought, the battlefield of Shiloh, in the State 
of Tennessee, is hereby declared to be a national military park, whenever title to the 
same shall have been acquired by the United States and the usual jurisdiction over 
the lands and roads of the same shall have been granted to the United States by the 
State of Tennessee; that is to say, the area inclosed by the following lines, or so much 
thereof as the commissioners of the park may deem necessary, to wit: Beginning at 
low-water mark on the north bank of Snake Creek where it empties into the Ten- 
nessee River; thence westwardly in a straight line to the point where the river road 
to Crumps Landing, Tennessee, crosses Snake Creek; thence along the channel of 
Snake Creek to Owl Creek; thence along the channel of Owl Creek to the crossing of 
the road to Purdy, Tennessee; thence southwardly in a straight line to the intersec- 
tion of an east and west line drawn from the point where the road to Hamburg, Ten- 
nessee, crosses Lick Creek, near the mouth of the latter; thence eastward along the 
said east and west line to the point where the Hamburg Road crosses Lick Creek; 
thence along the channel of Lick Greek to the Tennessee River; thence along low- 
water mark of the Tennessee River to the point of beginning, containing three thou- 
sand acres, more or less, and the area thus inclosed shall be known as the Shiloh 
National Military Park: Provided, That the boundaries of the land authorized to be 
acquired may be changed by the said commissioners. 

Sec. 2. That the establishment of the Shiloh National Military Park shall be carried 
forward under the control and direction of the Secretary of War, who, upon the 
passage of this Act, shall proceed to acquire title to the same either under the Act 
approved August first, eighteen hundred and eighty-eight, entitled "An Act to author- 
ize the condemnation of land for sites of public buildings, and for other purposes," 
or under the Act approved February twenty-seventh, eighteen hundred and sixty- 
seven, entitled "An Act to establish and protect national cemeteries," as he may 
select, and as title is procured to any portion of the lands and roads within the legal 
boundaries of the park he may proceed with the establishment of the park upon such 
portions as may thus be acquired. 

Sec. 3. That the Secretary of War is hereby authorized to enter into agreements 
whereby he may lease, upon such terms as he may prescribe, with such present 
owners or tenants of the lands as may desire to remain upon it, to occupy and culti-

buildings and roads and the present outlines of field and forest, and that they only 
will cut trees or underbrush under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, 
and that they will assist in caring for and protecting all tablets, monuments, or such 
other artificial works as may from time to time be erected by proper authority. 

Sec. 4. That the affairs of the Shiloh National Military Park shall, subject to the 
supervision and direction of the Secretary of War, be in charge of three commis-

appropriations provided by this Act as the Secretary of War shall deem reasonable 
and just; and for the purpose of assisting them in their duties and in ascertaining the 
lines of battle of all troops engaged and the history of their movements in the battle, 
the Secretary of War shall have authority to employ, at such compensation as he 
may deem reasonable, to be paid out of the appropriations made by this Act, some 

3 



person recognized as well informed concerning the history of the several armies 
engaged at Shiloh, and who shall also acl as secretary of the commission. 

Sec. 5. Thai it shall lie the duty of the commission named in the preceding sec-

be submitted to and approved by the Secretary of War, and all such lines, designs 
and inscriptions for the same shall first receive the written approval of the Secretary, 
which approval shall be based upon formal written reports, which must be made to 
him in each case by the commissioners of the park: Provided, That no discrimination

TO SHILOH SOLDIERS. 

The Shiloh National Military Park was established by act of Congress in order 
that, "The armies of the southwest may have the history of one of their memorable 
battles preserved on the ground where they fought." 

It is the desire of the commission having this work in charge that this history 
shall be complete, impartial, and correct, so that when the monuments of granite 
and bronze shall have been erected their inscriptions shall publish to the world 
nothing but the truth. 

To secure this accuracy all reports have been carefully studied and compared. The 
records at Washington have been thoroughly searched and many who participated 
in the battle have been interviewed. Unfortunately many organizations that served 
at Shiloh failed to make official reports; others made such meager statements of 
service that it is difficult to give credit that is doubtless due to gallant organizations. 
It is, therefore, desired that the statements herein made 1 »e earnestly studied by every 
survivor of Shiloh, particularly in regard to his own organization, and that he report 
any errors or omissions found in these statements to "Secretary, Shiloh National 
Military Park Commission, Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee," who will investigate the 
same ami make such corrections as the commission may direct with a view of the 
publication of a revised edition of this report. It is suggested that survivors examine 
official and other reports carefully and consult surviving comrades so as to be su re 
they are right before asking corrections.

ORGANIZATION OF THE COMMISSION. 



Under the provisions of the aet of Congress approved December 27, 
1894, the Secretary of War appointed as commissioners: Col. Cornelius 
Cadle, of Cincinnati, Ohio, for Army of the Tennessee, chairman; Gen. 
Don Carlos Buell, of Paradise, Ky., for Army of the Ohio; Col. 
Robert F. Looney, of Memphis, Tenn., for Army of the Mississippi; 
Maj. D. W. Reed, of Chicago, 111., secretary and historian, and Capt. 
James W. Irwin, of Savannah, Tenn., agent for the purchase of land. 

The commission met and organized April 2, 1895, at Pittsburg Land- 
ing, Tenn., and at once entered upon the discharge of its duties, under 
the direction of the Secretary of War. Mr. James M. Riddell was 
appointed clerk of the commission. 

Mr. Atwell Thompson, civil engineer, of Chattanooga, Tenn., was 
employed to take charge of the work. Under his direction surveys 
were made and parallel lines run across the field, from north to south, 
every 200 feet, upon which stakes were set 200 feet apart. From this 
survey levels were taken and a contoured topographical map made of 
all the land within the limits of the park. 

Gen. Don Carlos Buell died on November 19, 1898, and Maj. J. H. 
Ashcraf t, late of the Twenty-sixth Kentucky Volunteers, was appointed 
in his place. 

Col. Robert F. Looney died on November 19, 1899, and Col. Josiah 
Patterson, late of the First Alabama Cavalry, was appointed in his 
place. 

From official maps and reports, information received from residents, 
personal recollections of survivors of the battle and other information, 
roads, fields, and camps were restored; battle lines and positions of 
troops located and shown on the map and marked by historical tablets 
on the ground. Four maps have been made which show the field of 
operations, the approaches to Shiloh, and a map of each day's battle. 
Copies of these maps accompany this report. 

The progress of the work has been fully reported each year by the 
chairman of the commission and his reports published in the annual 
report of the Secretary of War.

SHILOH CAMPAIGN AND BATTLE. 



FIFLX) OF OPERATIONS.' 

On the 1st day of January, 1862, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston was 
in command of all the Confederate forces of Tennessee and Kentucky. 
His troops occupied a line of defense extending- from Columbus, Ivy., 
through Forts Henry and Donelson to Bowling Green, Ky., where 
General Johnston had his headquarters. 

Gen. H. W. Halleck at that date commanded the Department of the 
Missouri with headquarters at St. Louis, and Gen. D. C. Buell com- 
manded the Department of the Ohio with headquarters at Louisville, 
Ky. The Cumberland River formed the boundary separating the 
Departments of the Missouri and the Ohio. 

Various plans had been canvassed by Generals Halleck and Buell, 
participated in by the general in chief, for an attack upon the Con- 
federate line. General Halleck had asked to have General Buell's 
arm} 7 transferred to him, or at least placed under his command, claim- 
ing that without such union and an army of at least 60,000 men under 
one commander, it would be impossible to break the well-established 
lines of General Johnston/' 

Before such union could be effected, and before General Halleck had 
received a reply to his request, General Grant asked for and received 
permission to attack the line at Fort Henry on the Tennessee River. 6 ' 
Assisted by the gunboat fleet of Commodore Foote, Grant captured 
Fort Henry on the 6th of February, and then moving upon Fort 
Donelson captured that place with 15,000 prisoners on the 16th. The 
loss of these forts broke General Johnston's line at its center and com- 
pelled him to evacuate Columbus and Bowling Green, abandon Ten- 
nessee and Kentucky to the Union Army and seek a new line of defense 
on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. 

General Halleck was displeased with Grant because he sent a division 
of troops into BuelPs department at Clarksville. rf This displeasure 
was increased when he learned that General Grant had gone to Nash- 
ville for consultation with General Buell. Halleck directed the with- 
drawal of Smith's division from Clarksville, suspended General Grant 
from command, and ordered him to Fort Henry to await orders/ He 
then placed Gen. C. F. Smith in command of all the troops with orders

to proceed up the Tennessee River and to make an effort to break the 
Confederate line on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad at some 
place near Florence." 

General Smith's advance reached Savannah. Tenn., March L3, 1862. 
Having determined to make that point his base of operations, he 
landed the troops that accompanied his advance, and sent boats buck 
for supplies and the remainder of his army. 

(Jen. W. T. Sherman had organized a division of new troops while 
he was in command at Paducah. With these he was ordered to report 
to General Smith. He reached Savannah on the 14th of March and 
was ordered by General Smith to proceed up the river to some point 
near Eastport and from there make an attempt to break the Memphis 
and Charleston Railroad in the vicinity of Burnsville, Miss/' 

Previous to this time a gunboat fleet had passed up the Tennessee 
River as far as Florence. At Pittsburg Landing this fleet encountered 
a small force of Confederates consisting of the Eighteenth Louisiana 
Infantry, Gibson's battery of artillery, and some cavalry. The gun- 
boats shelled the position and drove away the Confederates. A burst- 
ing shell set tire to and destroyed one of the three buildings at the 
landing. The fleet proceeded up the river to Florence and on its 
return landed a small party at Pittsburg Landing to investigate. This 
party found a dismounted 32-pounder gun on the river bluff, and about 
1 mile out, a hospital containing several Confederate soldiers that had 
been wounded a few days before in the engagement with the fleet. 
Near the hospital a Confederate picket post stopped their advance and 
the party returned to the boats. 

In the report made by the officer in command of this naval expedi- 
tion is found the first mention of Pittsburg Landing, that little hamlet 
on the Tennessee River so soon to become historic. 

When General Sherman's command was passing Pittsburg Landing, 
Lieutenant Gwin of the U. S. gunboat Tyler pointed out to General 
Sherman the position that had been occupied by the Confederate bat- 
teiy, and informed him that there w T as a good road from that point to 
Corinth. That it was, in fact, the landing place for all goods shipped 
by river to and from Corinth. General Sherman at once reported 
these facts to General Smith and asked that the place be occupied in 
force while the demonstration was being made against Burnsville. In 
compliance with this request, General Hurlbut's division was at once 
dispatched by boats to Pittsburg Landing. 

General Sherman proceeded up the river and landed his division at 
the mouth of Yellow Creek, a few miles below Eastport, and made an 
attempt to march to Burnsville. Heavy rains and high water com- 
pelled his return to the boats. Finding no other accessible landing 
place he dropped down to Pittsburg Landing, where lie found Hurl- 
but's division on boats. 

Sherman reported to General Smith that Eastport was occupied in 
force by the Confederates, and that Pittsburg Landing was the first 
point below Eastport that was above water, so that a landing of troops 
could be made. He was directed to disembark his division and Hurl- 
but's and put them in camp far enough back to afford room for the 
other divisions of the army to encamp near the river.

On the 16th of March Sherman landed a part of his division, and 
accompanied by Colonel McPherson, of General Halleck's .stall, 
marched out as far as Monterey, 11 miles, dispersing* a Confederate 
cavalry camp. Returning to the river he spent two days in disem- 
barking his troops and selecting camps, and on the 19th moved out 
and put his troops into the positions to which he had assigned them, 
about 2i miles from the landing. 

Pittsburg Landing, on the left bank of the Tennessee River, 8 miles 
above Savannah, was at that time simply a landing place for steam- 
boats trading along the river. Its high bluff, at least 80 feet above 
the water at its highest flood, afforded a safe place for the deposits of 
products unloaded from, or to be loaded upon, the boats. From this 
landing a good ridge road ran southwesterly to Corinth, Miss., 22 
miles awaj\ One mile out from the river the Corinth road crossed 
another road running north and south parallel with the river, and 
connecting Savannah below with Hamburg, 4 miles above Pittsburg 
Landing. One quarter of a mile beyond this crossing the Corinth 
road forked, the part known as Eastern Corinth road r inning nearly 
south until it intersected the Bark road, 3 miles from the river. 

The other, or main road, running due west from the fork, crossed 
the Hamburg and Purdy road 2 miles from the river, and then turn- 
ing southwest, passed Shiloh Church just2£ miles from the river. At 
a point 5 miles oat this main road intersected the Bark road at the 
southwest corner of what is now the lands of the Shiloh National 
Military Park. The Bark road, running nearly due east to Hamburg, 
forms the southern boundary of the park. 

On the south side of the Bark road ridge is Lick Creek, which has 
its rise near Monterey, and empties into the Tennessee about 2 miles 
above Pittsburg Landing. North of the main Corinth road, and at an 
average of about 1 mile from it, is Owl Creek, which flows north- 
easterly and empties into Snake Creek at the pdint where the Savannah 
road crosses it. Snake Creek empties into the Tennessee River about 
1 mile below Pittsburg Landing. 

All these streams flow through flat, muddy bottom lands and are, in 
the spring of the .year, practically impassable, and in April, 1862, 
could not be crossed except at two or three places where bridges were 
maintained. These streams therefore formed an excellent protection 
against an attack upon either flank of an army encamped between 
them. The general surface of the land along the Corinth road is about 
on the same level, but is cut up on either side by deep ravines an 
water courses leading into the creeks. In many of these ravines are 
running streams with the usual marsh}^ margins. 

In 1862 this plateau was covered with open forest with frequent 
thick undergrowth and an occasional clearing of a few acres surround- 
ing the farmhouse of the owner. 

Sherman selected grounds for his division camps just behind a stream 
called Shiloh Branch, McDowell's brigade on the right, with his right 
on Owl Creek at the bridge where the Hamburg and Purdy road 
crosses the creek. Buckland's brigade next in line to the left, with 
his left at Shiloh Church. Hildebrand's brigade to the left of the 
church. Stuart's brigade, detached from others, to the extreme left 
of the line at the point where the Savannah and Hamburg and the 
Purdy and Hamburg roads unite just before they cross Lick Creek. 



10 

Hurlbut's division formed its camp 1 mile in roar of Sherman's, 
near the crossingof the Corinth and the Hamburg and Savannah roads. 

On the 11th day of March Hie Departments of the Missouri and the 
Ohio were consolidated under the name of the Department of the Mis- 
sissippi, and Maj. (ien. 11. W. Ilalleck was assigned to the command, 
giving him from that date the control he had sought — of both armies 
then operating- in Tennessee. General Smith, about the time of his 
arrival at Savannah, had received an injury to his leg while stepping 
from a gunboat into a yawl. This injury, apparently insignificant at 
first, soon took such serious form that the General was obliged to 
relinquish command of the troops, and General Grant was restored to 
duty and ordered by General Halleck to repair to Savannah and take 
command of the troops in that vicinity. Upon his arrival at Savan- 
nah, March IT, General Grant found his army divided, a part on 
either side of the Tennessee River. He at once reported to General 
Halleck" the exact situation, and in answer was directed to " destroy 
the railroad connections at Corinth." 6 

To carry out this order General Grant transferred the remainder 
of his army, except a small garrison for Savannah, to the west side of 
the river, concentrating the First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth divisions 
at Pittsburg Landing, and the Third at Crump's Landing, 6 miles 
below. General McClernand with the First Division formed his camp 
in rear of Sherman's right brigades. Gen. W. H. L. Wallace, com- 
manding the Second Division, encamped to the right of Hurlbut, 
between Corinth road and Snake Creek. A new division, the Sixth, 
just organizing under General Prentiss out of new troops, went into 
camp as the regiments arrived between Hildebrand's and Stuart's 
brigades of Sherman's divison, its center on the eastern Corinth road. 
Gen. Lew. Wallace, commanding the Third Division, placed his first 
brigade at Crump's, his second brigade at Stony Lonesome, and his 
thiid brigade at Adamsville, 5 miles out on the Purely road. 

On March 10 General Halleck wrote General McClellan: "I propose 
going to the Tennessee in a few days to take personal command. " c 
Pending his arrival at the front his orders to Smith, to Sherman, and 
to Grant were: "My instructions not to bring on an engagement must 
be strictly obeyed;" d but when informed by General Grant that the 
contemplated attack upon Corinth would make a general engagement 
inevitable, Halleck at once ordered, "By all means keep your forces 
together until you connect with General Buell. Don't let the enemy 
draw you into an engagement now."'' To this General Grant replied: 
"All troops have been concentrated near Pittsburg Landing. No 
movement of troops will be made except to advance Sherman to Pea 
Ridge. "^ Sherman made a reconnoissance toward Pea Ridge March 
24 and drove some cavalry across Liek Creek. He bivouacked at 
Chambers's plantation that night, and returned to camp next morning. 

On the 31st, with two regiments of infantry, a section of artillery, 
and a company of cavalry, Sherman went up to Eastport. Finding 
the Confederate works there and at Chickasaw abandoned, he sent his

scouts toward Iuka. Confederate cavalry was encountered, and the 
command returned to Pittsburg Landing. 

The Army of the Tennessee, commanded by Maj. Gen. U. 8. Grant, 
was, on the 5th of April, 1862, composed of six divisions. The First, 
commanded by Maj. Gen. John A. McClernand; the Second, by Brig. 
Gen. W. H. L. Wallace; the Third, by Maj. Gen. Lew. Wallace; the 
Fourth, by Brig. Gen. S. A. Hurlbut; the Fifth, by Brig. Gen. W. T. 
Sherman, and the Sixth, by Brig. Gen. B. M. Prentiss. Generals 
McClernand, C. F. Smith, and Lew. Wallace had been promoted major- 
generals March 21, 1862. Official notice of such promotion was sent 
to General Grant by General Halleck from St. Louis April 5/' Pre- 
vious to this notice of promotion the order of rank of the brigadiers 
was as follows: Sherman, McClernand, Hurlbut, Prentiss, C. F. 
Smith, Lew. Wallace, W. H. L. Wallace. General Smith, until re- 
lieved by General Grant, March 17, was in command by order of 
General McClellan. 6 

The camps of Sherman and Pren*tiss formed the front line about 2^- 
miles from Pittsburg Landing and extended in a semicircle from Owl 
Creek on the right to Lick Creek on the left. One company from 
each regiment was advanced as a picket 1 mile in front of regimental 
camps. 

By the official returns of April 5, 1862, there were, in the five 
divisions of the Army of the Tennessee at Pittsburg Landing, present 
for duty, c infantry, artillery, and cavalry, officers and men, 39,830; 
in the Third Division, at Crump's Landing, present for duty, officers 
and men, 7,564. 

On the evening of the 5th the advance of General Buell's army 
arrived at Savannah, and in one day more would have united with the 
Army of the Tennessee, ready for the advance on Corinth, as contem- 
plated and announced in General Halleck\s programme. 

When General Johnston withdrew his army from Kentucky and 
Tennessee, after the fall of Fort Donelson, he established his new line 
of operations along- the Memphis and Charleston Railroad with his 
right at Chattanooga and his left on the Mississippi at Fort Pillow. 
On this line he was reenforced by Generals Polk and Beauregard 
from Columbus and West Tennessee, and by General Bragg from 
Pensacola and Mobile, and had ordered Van Dorn, from Little Rock, 
Ark., to report with his army at Corinth, Miss. As early as March 
9, General Ruggles was placed in command at Corinth and was ordered 
to f)ut his troops in marching order and to commence a line of intrench - 
ments around the town. 

On the 29th of March General Johnston issued a general order con- 
solidating the armies of Kentuck\^ and Mississippi, and some independ- 
ent commands, into the "Army of the Mississippi" of which he 
assumed the command, naming Gen. G. T. Beauregard as second in 
command and Maj. Gen. Braxton Bragg as chief of staff. Subse- 
quently he organized his army into four corps. The First Corps 
commanded by Maj. Gen. Leonidas Polk; the Second Corps commanded 
by Maj. Gen. Braxton Bragg; the Third Corps commanded b}^ Maj. 
Gen. W. J. Hardee, and the Reserve Corps commanded by Brig. Gen. 
J. C. Breckinridge.

One division of the First Corps, Cheatham's, was at Bethel and 
Purely; a brigade of the Second Corps was at Monterey; the Reserve 
Corps ut Burnsville; the cavalry nearer the Union lines. All other 
troops concentrated at ( orinth." 

General Johnston had been depressed by the censure of the South- 
ern press, and as late as March 18 offered to relinquish the command 
of the army to General Beauregard. Reassured by expressions of 
confidence by Mr. Davis, he resolved to retain command and, if possi- 
ble, to regain the confidence of the people by taking the offensive and 
attacking- Grant's army at Pittsburg Landing, hoping to defeat that 
army before it could be reenforced by General Buell. 

Hearing that General Buell was nearing Savannah, General John- 
ston determined to attack at once, without waiting the arrival of Van 
Dorn. Accordingly, on the 3d of April he issued orders for the for- 
ward movement, directing his army to move by the several roads and 
concentrate at Mickey's, 8 miles from Pittsburg Landing, so as to be 
ready to attack at sunrise on the morning of the 5th. Heavy rains, 
bad roads, and the delays incident to marching large columns with 
wagon trains and artillery over muddy roads, prevented the assembly 
of the army at Mickey's until nearly night of the 5th. It was then 
determined to delay the attack until daylight next morning* 

The aggregate present for duty, officers and men of the Confederate 
Army, infantry, artillery, and cavalry, assembled at Mickey's April 
5, 1862, as shown by official reports, was 43,968. 6 

This army General Johnston put in line of battle and bivouacked 
Saturday night in the following order: Major General Hardee's corps 
on the first or advanced line, with Cleburne's brigade on the left, its left 
flank at Widow Howell's, near Winningham Creek. Wood's brigade 
next to the right, with his right on the main Pittsburg and Corinth 
road, and just in rear of the Wood's field. Shaver's brigade on right 
of Pittsburg and Corinth road, extending the line nearly to Bark road. 
As Hardee's line thus deployed did not occupy all the spaee to Lick 
Creek, as desired, Gladden's brigade from Withers's division of Second 
Corps was added to Hardee's right, extending the line across Bark 
road. 

Major General Bragg's corps was deployed 800 3 T ards in rear of the 
first line, with Ruggles's division on the left and Withers's division on 
the right, in the following order of brigades from left to right: Pond, 
Anderson, Gibson, Jackson, and Chalmers. This second line over- 
lapped the first and extended beyond Hardee's on both flanks, Jack- 
son's left flank resting on the Bark road. 

The corps of Generals Polk and Breckinridge were formed in column 
by brigades in rear of the second line. Wharton's and Brewer's cav- 
alry were on the left flank, guarding the roads toward Stantonville. 
Clanton's cavalry was on the right front, Avery's, Forrest's and 
Adams's cavalry at Greer's Ford on Lick Creek. Other cavalry 
organizations were attached to the different corps. 

General Johnston's headquarters were established at the forks of 
the Bark and Pittsburg roads. 

Pickets were sent out from the first line. The Third Mississippi, 
commanded by Major Hardcastle, was on such duty in front of Wood's 
brigade, his reserve post, at the corner where Wood's and Fraley's 
fields join.

THE BATTLE. « 



During the Confederate advance from Monterey on the 3d there had 
been skirmishing between the cavalry of the two armies, and on the 
ith one of Buckland's picket posts was captured. Buckland sent out 
two companies in pursuit of the captors. These companies were 
attacked and surrounded by Confederate cavalry, but were rescued by 
Buckland coming to their relief with his whole regiment. On Satur- 
day Generals Prentiss and Sherman each sent out reconnoitering par- 
ties to the front. Neither of these parties developed the enemy in 
force, but reported such evidences of cavalry, that pickets of both 
divisions were doubled, and General Prentiss, being still apprehensive 
of attack, sent out at 3 o'clock Sunday morning three companies of 
the Twenty-fifth Missouri, under Major Powell of that regiment, to 
again reconnoiter well to the front. 

Major Powell marched to the right and front, passing between the 
Rhea and Seay fields, and at 4.55 a. m. struck Hardcastle\s pickets and 
njeceived their lire. The fire was returned by Powell and a sharp 
engagement was had between these outposts, continuing, as Hard- 
castle says, one hour and a half, until 6.30 a. m., when he saw his 
brigade formed in his rear and fell back to his place in line. 

Wood's brigade, advancing, drove Powell back to the Seay field, 
where he was reinforced by four companies of the Sixteenth Wiscon- 
sin, that had been on picket near by, and by live companies of the 
Twenty -first Missouri under Colonel Moore, who at once took com- 
mand and sent back to camp for the remainder of his regiment. 

This force, lighting and retreating slowly, was reenforced at south- 
east corner of the Rhea field by all of Peabody's brigade. Peabody 
succeeded in holding the Confederates in check until about 8 o'clock, 
when he fell back to the line of his camp, closely followed by Shaver's 
jrigade and the right of Wood's brigade. 

While Peabpdy's brigade was thus engaged, General Prentiss had 
advanced Miller's brigade to the south side of Spain field, and placed 
ilickenlooper's battery to the left and Munch's battery to the right of 
the Eastern Corinth road. In this position he was attacked by Glad- 
den's brigade and by the left of Chalmers's brigade, that had advanced 
to the front line. These Confederate brigades, after a stubborn fight, 
in which Gladden was mortally wounded, drove Miller back to his line 
of camps at the same time that Peabody was driven back to his. In 
their several camps Prentiss formed his regiments again and was vig- 
orously attacked by Gladden's and Shaver's brigades, assisted on their 
left by a part of Wood's brigade, and on the right by Chalmers. 

At 9 o'clock Prentiss was driven from his. second position with the 
loss of the entire division camp, two guns of Hickenlooper's battery, 
and many killed and wounded left' on the field. Among the killed 
was Colonel Peabody, the commander of the First Brigade of Pren- 
tiss's division. 

While the right of Hardee's line was engaged with Prentiss his left 
had attacked the brigades of Hildebrand and Buckland, of Sherman's 
division. These brigades had formed in line in front of their camps 
and behind Shiloh Branch, with Barrett's battery at Shiloh Church 
and Waterhouse's battery to the left, behind the camp of the Fifty-

third Ohio. The Third Brigade of McClernand's division was brought 
up and formed in support of Sherman's left flank and of Waterhouse's 
battery. In the Confederate advance the left of Wood's brigade had 
been slightly engaged with the Fifty-third Ohio, which easily gave 
way, when Wood obliqued to the right, to avoid Waterhouse's bat- 
tery, and, following Prentiss, passed the left Hank of Hildebrand's 
brigade, then left wheeled to the attack of McClernand's Third Brig- 
ade. Cleburne's brigade, in attempting to cross the marshy ground 
of Shiloh Branch, received the concentrated tire of the Third and 
Fourth brigades of Sherman's division, and after two or three unsuc- 
cessful efforts to dislodge them, in which his regiments lost very 
heavily — the Sixth Mississippi having over 70 per cent killed and 
wounded — he was obliged to give place to Anderson's brigade of 
Bragg's corps, which was in like manner repulsed with severe loss. 
Johnson's and Russell's brigades of Polk's corps now came up together. 
Russell on the right, overlapping Sherman's left, and Johnson to the 
left across the Corinth road. The reoganized parts of the brigades of 
Cleburne and Anderson joining Russell and Johnson, the four brigades, 
assisted by Wood's brigade, advanced, and at 10 o'clock drove Sherman's 
two brigades, and the Third Brigade of McClernand's division back 
across the Purdy road with the loss of three guns of Waterhouse's 
battery and of the camps of the three brigades. During the contest 
Confederate Generals Clark, commanding a division, and Johnson, 
commanding a brigade, were severely wounded, and Colonel Raith, 
commanding McClernand's Third Brigade, was mortally wounded. 
The capture of the three guns of Waterhouse's battery is claimed by 
the Thirteenth Tennessee of Russell's brigade, and General Polk seems 
to concede the claim, though it appears that several regiments were 
attacking the battery from the front when the Thirteenth Tennessee 
moved by the right flank and approaching the battery from its left 
rear reached it before those from the front. General Vaughan, of the 
Thirteenth Tennessee, says that when his regiment reached these guns 
a dead Union officer lay near them, and keeping guard over his body 
was a pointer dog that refused to allow the Confederates to approach 
the body. 

Pond's brigade of Bragg's corps had engaged McDowell's brigade, 
in conjunction with Anderson's attack on Buckland, and had succeeded 
in gaining the bridge at McDowell's right flank but had not become 
seriously engaged when Sherman ordered McDowell to retire and form 
junction with his Third and Fourth brigades which were then falling 
back from Shiloh Church. McDowell therefore abandoned his camp 
to Pond without a contest. 

After the capture of Prentiss's camps Chalmers's and Jackson's brig- 
ades from Bragg's corps were ordered to the right to attack the ex- 
treme left of the Union line. Preceded by Clanton's cavalry these 
brigades moved by the flank down the Bark road until the head of the 
column was at the swampy grounds of Lick Creek, then forming line 
of battle and placing Gage's and Girardey's batteries upon the bluff 
south of Locust Grove Creek they compelled Stuart, w T ho was without 
artillery, to leave his camp and form his lines to left and rear in the 
timber. Here he held Chalmers in a fierce light until about 2 o'clock 
when he fell back to the landing, abandoning the last of Sherman's 
camps. Jackson's attack, as he came across the creek, fell upon 
McArthur's brigade, consisting of the Ninth and Twelfth Illinois, sup- 



15 

ported on the left by the Fiftieth Illinois .and by Willard's battery in 
the rear. McArthur, in a stubborn contest in which the Ninth Illinois 
lost 60 per cent of the men engaged, held his ground until Jackson 
was reinforced by Bowen's brigade of Breckinridge's corps, when 
McArthur fell back. 

When Sherman and Prentiss discovered that they were being attacked 
by the Confederates in force they asked reenforcements from the divis- 
ions in their rear. 

McClernand sent his third brigade to reenforce Sherman's left, and 
Schwartz's battery to assist Buckland. He then formed his First and 
Second brigades along the Pittsburg road in front of his headquarters; 
Marsh's brigade, with Burrows's battery on the right; Hare's brigade 
to the left behind the Review field; McAllister's battery at the north- 
west corner of said field, and Dresser's battery at Water Oaks Pond. 
On this line the Third brigade rallied when it fell back from Sherman's 
line. 

Veatch's brigade of Hurlbut's division was sent to reenforce McCler- 
nand and formed behind Burrows's buttery. Hurl but marched his 
other brigades to the Peach Orchard and formed line of battle with 
Williams's brigade facing south and Lauman's brigade facing west. 
The batteries, Mann's, Ross's, and Myer's, all in the held behind the 
infantry. 

W. H. L. Wallace's First Brigade, commanded by Colonel Tuttle, 
moved out on the Eastern Corinth road and formed on the east side of 
the Duncan held in an old sunken road. McArthurs brigade was dis- 
united. The Eighty-first Ohio and the Fourteenth Missouri were sent 
to guard the bridge over Snake Creek; the Thirteenth Missouri to 
reenforce McDowell's brigade and McArthur, in person with the 
Ninth and Twelfth Illinois and Willard's battery, went to the support 
of Stuart and formed on his right rear, and at the left of Hurlbut's 
division, just east of the Peach Orchard. Of Sweeny's brigade, the 
Seventh and Fifty-eighth Illinois formed on Tuttle's right connecting 
it with McClernand's left. The Fiftieth Illinois was sent to McArthur. 
The other regiments were held in reserve until about noon when the 
Eighth Iowa formed on Tuttle's left to till a gap between Wallace and 
Prentiss. The Fifty-seventh Illinois went to the extreme left, and the 
Fifty -second Illinois reported to McClernand at his sixth position just 
east of Tilghman Creek. Batteries D, H, and K, First Missouri Light 
Artillery, were placed along the ridge in rear of Tuttle. Prentiss 
rallied his broken division, not over S0<> men, oil Hurlbut's right con- 
necting it with Wallace's left. 

In the early morning, General Grant at Savannah heard the firing 
and directed General Nelson, of the Army of the Ohio, to march his 
division along the east bank of the Tennessee to the point opposite 
Pittsburg. Then, leaving a request for General Buell to hurry his 
troops forward as rapidly as possible, he hastened by boat to join his 
army. Arriving upon the held at about the time that Prentiss was driven 
from his camp, he immediately dispatched orders to Gen. Lew. Wallace 
to bring his division to the battlefield. There has ever since been a 
dispute as to the terms of this order and the time of its delivery. It 
is admitted that General Wallace received an order, and that he started 
his command at about 12 o'clock by a road leading into the Hamburg 
and Purdy road west of the bridge over Owl Creek on the right of 
Sherman's camps. This bridge was abandoned by McDowell and held 



16 

by the Confederates at LO o'clock. An aide from General Grant over- 
took Wallace on this road about 3 o'clock and turned him back to the 
Savannah and Hamburg, or river road, by which he reached the bat- 
tlefield about 7 o'clock" p. m. 

In the movements of the Confederate troops in the morning Gibson's 
brigade of Bragg'scorps had followed Shaver's brigade and had halted 
just inside the line of camps. This had separated Gibson from Ander- 
son by the length of a brigade; into this space Bragg directed Stephens's 
brigade, of Polk's corps, and it entered the line of camps in rear of 
Wood's brigade. Stewart's brigade, also of Polk's corps, was sent to 
the right and entered the line of camps in rear of Gladden's brigade. 

When Prentiss was driven back General Johnston ordered his reserve 
into action by sending Trabue forward on the Pittsburg Landing road 
to Shiloh Church, while Bowen and Statham were moved down the Bark 
road and formed line of battle south of the Peach Orchard to the left 
rear of Jackson and completing the line to where Gladden's brigade, 
now commanded by Adams, was resting near Prentiss's headquarters 
camp. 

Following the capture of the guns of Waterhouses's battery and the 
retreat of Sherman and Raith to the Purdy road, Wood's and Shaver's 
brigades, with Swett's battery, were ordered to left wheel. Stewart's 
brigade was sent by left flank along the rear of Peabody's camp to 
Wood's left where three of the regiments took their places in line, 
while the Fourth Tennessee, supported by the Twelfth Tennessee, from 
Russell's brigade, went into line between Wood's and Shaver's brigades- 
Stanford's battery took position in the camp of the Fourth Illinois Cav- 
alry. Joining this force on its left were the somewhat disorganized 
brigades of Cleburne, Anderson, Johnson, and Russell. General Polk 
was personally directing their movements and led them forward, with- 
out waiting for perfect organization, in pursuit of Sherman's retreat- 
ing brigades. This combined force of seven brigades moved to the 
attack of McClernand and Sherman in their second position along the 
Pittsburg and Purdy road. The right of this attacking force, extend- 
ing beyond McClernand's left, became engaged with W. H. L. Wallace's 
troops near Duncan House, while Stephens's brigade of Polk's Corps 
engaged the left of Tuttle's brigade and Prentiss's division in the Hor- 
nets' Nest. At the same time Gladden attacked Lauman on west side 
of the Peach Orchard. In these attacks Generals Hindman and Wood 
were disabled, and the Confederates in front of Wallace, Prentiss, and 
Lauman were repulsed. 

The attack upon McClernand and Sherman was successful, and drove 
these commands back to the center of Marsh's brigade camp, where 
they made a short stand at what McClernand calls his third line, and 
then retired to the field at the right of that camp, to the fourth line. 
The third and fourth brigades of Sherman's division retired to the 
landing, and his first brigade, McDowell's, took position on McCler- 
nand's right. 

In the repulse of McClernand from his second and third line he had 
lost Burrows's entire battery of six guns, which was taken by AYood's 
brigade; also one gun of McAllister's batteiy, taken by the Fourth 
Tennessee, and two guns of Schwartz's battery and four guns of Dres- 
ser's battery; part of these, perhaps all, are claimed by the One hun- 
dred and fifty-fourth Tennessee. 

Rallying in camp of Hare's brigade, McClernand, with McDowell's 






17 

brigade on his right, checked the Confederate advance, and then, by a 
united countercharge, at 12 o'clock, recovered his second brigade camp 
and his own headquarters, and captured Cobb's Kentucky batter}-. 
McClernand gives the Eleventh Iowa and the Eleventh and Twentieth 
Illinois the credit for the capture of this battery. In the forward 
movement the Sixth Iowa and the Forty-sixth Ohio of McDowell's 
brigade, and Thirteenth Missouri of McArthur's brigade, became 
engaged with Trabue's Confederate brigade in a tierce battle, of which 
Trabue says: 

The combat here was a severe one. I fought the enemy an hour and a quarter, 
killing and wounding 400 or 500 of the Forty-sixth Ohio Infantry, as well as of 
another Ohio regiment, a Missouri regiment, and some Iowa troops. * * * I lost 
here many men and several officers. 

The number killed, wounded, and missing of the Forty-sixth Ohio 
at the battle of Shiloh, both da3 T s, was 246. But of the three regi- 
ments opposed to Trabue there were 510 killed, wounded, and missing; 
most of them were doubtless lost in this conflict. So that Trabue may 
not have seriously erred in his statement. 

At the time that McClernand fell back from his second position, 
General Stewart took command of Wood's and Shaver's brigades, and 
with the Fourth Tennessee of his own brigade moved to the right and 
renewed the attack upon Tuttle and Prentiss. Meeting a severe 
repulse he withdrew at 12 o'clock, with the Fourth Tennessee, to the 
assistance of the force in front of McClernand. At the same time 
Shaver's and Wood's brigades retired for rest and ammunition, and 
Stephens's brigade moved to the right and joined Breckinridge south 
of the Peach Orchard. 

General Bragg then brought up Gibson's brigade, which had been 
resting near Peabody's camp, and sent it in four separate charges 
against the position held by Prentiss and Tuttle. Gibson's brigade 
was shattered in their useless charges and retired from the field. 
While Bragg was directing these several movements, Generals Polk 
and Hardee had renewed the attack upon McClernand and in a contest 
lasting two hours had driven him back once more to the camp of his 
First Brigade where he maintained his position until 2.30 p. m., when 
he fell back across the valley of Tilghman Creek to his sixth line, 
abandoning the last of his camps. 

About 12 o'clock General Johnston, having gotten his reserve in 
position south of the Peach Orchard, assumed personal command of 
the right wing of his army and directed a combined forward movement, 
intending to break the Union left where Chalmers and Jackson had been 
engaged since about 10 o'clock, in an unsuccessful tight with Stuart 
and McArthur. Bowen's brigade was sent to support Jackson and 
was closely followed, en echelon to the left, by Statham's, Stephens's, 
and Gladden's brigades in an attack upon Hurlbut in the Peach Orchard. 
Stuart, hard pressed by Chalmers and threatened on the flank by Clan- 
ton's cavalry, was, as we have seen, the first to yield, and falling back 
left McArthur's flank exposed, compelling him and Hurlbut to fall 
back to the north side of the Pencil Orchard. As Hurlbut's First Brig- 
ade fell back, Lauman's brigade on its right was transferred to the 
left of the division in support of McArthur. Hurlbut's division as 
then formed stood at a right angle with the line of Prentiss and Wallace. 

At 2. 30 p. m. , while personal ly directing the movements of his reserve, 
General Johnston was strucK by a mime ball and almost instantly killed.

The death of the Confederate commander in chief caused :t relaxation 
of effort on that Hank until General Bragg, hearing of Johnston's 
death, turned over the command at the center to General Ruggles and, 
repairing to the right, assumed command, and again ordered a forward 
movement. 

General Ruggles, haying noted the ineffectual efforts of Bragg to 
break the Union center, determined to concentrate artillery upon that 
point. He therefore assembled ten batteries and a section, sixty-two 
guns, and placed them in position along the west side of the Duncan 
field and southeastof the Review field. In support of these batteries he 
brought up portions of the brigades of Gibson, Shaver, Wood, Ander- 
son, and Stewart with the Thirtieth Tennessee and Crescent regiment 
of Pond's brigade, and once more attacked the position so stubbornly 
held by AVallace and Prentiss. The concentrated fire of these sixty-two 
guns drove away the Union batteries, but was not able to rout the 
infantry from its sheltered position in the old road. 

William Preston Johnston, in the Life of General Albert Sidney 
Johnston, gives this graphic description of the fighting at this point: 

This portion of the Federal line was occupied by Wallace's division and by the 
remnants of Prentiss's division. Here behind a dense thicket on the crest of a hill 
was p. »sted a str< >ng force of as hardy troops as ever fought, almost perfectly protected 
by the conformation of the ground. To assail it an open field had to be passed, 
enfiladed by the fire of its batteries. It was nicknamed by the Confederates by that 
very mild metaphor, "The Hornets' Nest." No figure of speech would be too strong 
to express the deadly peril of an assault upon this natural fortress whose inaccessible 
barriers blazed for six hours with sheets of flame and whose infernal gates poured 
forth a murderous storm of shot and shell and musketry fire which no living thing 
could quell or even withstand. Brigade after brigade was led againstit, butvalor was 
of no avail. Hindman'a brilliant brigades which had swept everything before them 
from the field were shivered into fragments and paralyzed for the remainder of the 
day. Stewart's regiments made fruitless assaults, 1 mt only to retire mangled from the 
field. Bragg now ordered up Gibson's splendid brigade; it made a charge, but like 
the others recoiled and fell back. Bragg sent orders to charge again. * * * Four 
times the position was charged. Four times the assault proved unavailing, the brigade 
was repulsed. About half past 3 o'clock the struggle which had been going on for 
five hours with fitful violence was renewed with the utm< >st fury. Polk's and Bragg's 
corps, intermingled, were engaged in a death grapple with the sturdy commands of 
Wallace and Prentiss. * * * General Buggies judiciously collected all the artil- 
lery lie could find, some eleven batteries, which he massed against the position. 
The opening of so heavy a fire and the simultaneous advance of the whole Confederate 
line resulted first in confusion and then in defeat of Wallace and the surrender of 
Prentiss at about half past 5 o'clock. Each Confederate commander of division, 
brigade, and regiment, as his command pounced upon the prey, believed it entitled to 
the credit of the capture. Breckinbridge, Ruggles, Withers, Cheatham, and other 
divisions which helped to subdue these stubborn fighters each imagined his own the 
hardest part of the work. 

Generals Polk and Hardee, with the commingled commands of the 
Confederate left, had followed McClernand in his retreat across Tilgh- 
man Creek and about 4 o'clock Hardee sent Pond with three of his 
regiments and Wharton's cavalry to attack the Union position upon 
the east side of this creek. In~ this attack the Confederates were 
repulsed with heavy loss, the Eighteenth Louisiana alone losing 42 
per cent of those engaged. Pond retired to the west side of the creek 
and took no further part in the action of Sunday. Trabue and Rus- 
sell, with some other detachments, renewed the attack, and at 4.30 
]). m. succeeded in driving McClernand and Veatch back to the Ham- 
burg road, then wheeled to the right against the exposed Hank of 
W. II. L. Wallace's division. At the same time Bragg had forced back 
the Union left until Mc Arthur and Hurlbut, seeing that they were in 



L9 

danger of being cut off from the Landing, withdrew their forces, letting 
the whole of Bragg's forces upon the rear of Prentiss and Wallace, 
while Polk and Hardee were attacking them on their right flank 
and Ruggles was pounding them from the front. Wallace attempted 
to withdraw by the left flank, but in passing the lines, closing behind 
him, he was mortally wounded. Colonel Tuttle with two of his regi- 
ments succeeded in passing the lines while four of Wallace's regiments 
with the part of Prentiss's division were completely surrounded, and, 
after an ineffectual effort to force their way back to the Landing, were 
compelled to surrender at 5.30 p. m. The number of prisoners cap- 
tured here and in previous engagements was 2,254 men and officers, 
about an equal number from each division. General Prentiss and the 
mortally wounded General Wallace were both taken prisoners, but 
General Wallace was left on the field and was recovered by his friends 
next day, and died at Savannah, Tenn., four days later. 

During the afternoon, Colonel Webster, chief of artillery, on Gen- 
eral Grant's staff, had placed Madison's battery of siege guns in posi- 
tion about a quarter of a mile out from the Landing, and then, as the 
other batteries came back from the front, placed them in position to 
the right and left of the siege guns. Hurlbut's division as it came 
back was formed on the right of these guns; Stuart's brigade on the 
left; parts of Wallace's division and detached regiments formed in 
the rear and to the right of Hurlbut, connecting with McClernand's 
left. McClernand extended the line to Hamburg and Savannah road 
and along that road to near McArthur's headquarters, where Buck- 
land's brigade of Sherman's division, with three regiments of McAr- 
thur's brigade, were holding the right which covered the bridge by 
which Gen. Lew. Wallace was to arrive on the field. 

About 5 o'clock Ammen's brigade of Nelson's division of the Army 
of the Ohio reached the field, the Thirty-sixth Indiana taking posi- 
tion near the left in support of Stone's battery. Two gunboats, the 
7}/Ar and Lexington, were at the mouth of Dill Branch, just above the 
Landing. 

After the capture of Prentiss an attempt was made to reorganize 
the Confederate forces for an attack upon the Union line in position 
near the Landing. Generals Chalmers and Jackson and Colonel Trabue 
moved their commands to the right down the ridge south of Dill Branch 
until they came under fire of the Union batteries and gunboats, which 
silenced Gage's battery, the only one with the command. Trabue 
sheltered his command on the south side of the ridge, while Chalmers 
and Jackson moved into the valley of Dill Branch and pressed skir- 
mishers forward to the brow of the hill on the north side of the valley, 
but their exhausted men, many of them without ammunition, could 
not be urged to a charge upon the batteries before them. Colonel 
Deas, commanding a remnant of Gladden's brigade, formed with 224 
men in the ravine on Jackson's left, and Anderson formed at the head 
of the ravine, where he remained ten or fifteen minutes, then he retired 
beyond range of the floating guns. Colonel Lindsay, First Mississippi 
Cavalry, charged upon and captured Ross's batteiy, as it was with- 
drawing from position near Hurlbut's headquarters, and then with 30 
or 40 men crossed the head of Dill Branch and attempted to charge 
another battery, but finding himself in the presence of an infantry 
force . "• managed to get back under the hill without damage." This 
cavalry and the skirmishers from Chalmers' and Jackson's brigades 



20 

were the only Confederate troops thai came under musketry fire :i t'tei- 
the Prentiss and Wallace surrender. 

In the meantime General Bragg made an effort to get troops into 
position on the left of Pittsburg road, but before arrangements were 
completed night came <>n and General Beauregard ordered all the 
troops withdrawn. The Confederate troops sought bivouacs on' the 
field, some occupying captured Onion camps and some returning to 
their bivouac of Saturday night. General Beauregard remained near 
Shiloh Church. General Polk retired to his Saturday night camp. 
General Bragg was with Beauregard near the church, occupying General 
Sherman's headquarters camp. General Hardee and General Withers 
encamped with Colonel Martin in Peabody's camp. Trabue occu- 
pied camps of the Sixth Iowa and Forth-sixth Ohio. Pond's brigade 
alone of the infantry troops remained in line of battle confronting 
the Union line. 

The Union troops bivouacked on their line of battle, extending from 
Pittsburg Landing to Snake Creek bridge, where the Third Division 
arrived after dark, occupying the line from McArthur's headquarters 
to the lowlands of the creek. Thirteen hours the battle had raged 
over all parts of the field without a moment's cessation. The Union 
Army had been steadily forced back on both flanks. The camps of 
all but the Second Division had been captured, and position after 
position surrendered after the most persistent lighting and with great 
loss of life on both sides. Many regiments, and brigades even, of both 
armies had been shattered and had lost their organization. Detach- 
ments of soldiers and parts of companies and regiments were scattered 
over the field, some doubtless seeking in vain for their commands; 
many caring for dead and wounded comrades; others exhausted with 
the long conflict and content to seek rest and refreshment at any 
place that promised relief from the terrors of the battle. The fierce- 
ness of the fighting on Sunday is shown by the losses sustained by 
some of the organizations engaged. The Ninth Illinois lost 366 out of 
617. The Sixth Mississippi lost 300 out of 125. Cleburne's brigade 
lost 1,013 out of 2,700, and the brigade was otherwise depleted until 
he had but 800 men in line Sunday night. He continued in the fight 
on Monday until he had only 58 men in line, and these he sent to the 
rear for ammunition. 

Gladden's brigade was reduced to 221. The Fifty-fifth Illinois lost 
275 out of 657. The Twenty-eighth Illinois lost 215 out of 612. The 
Sixth Iowa had 52 killed outright. The Third Iowa lost 33 per cent 
of those engaged. The Twelfth Iowa lost in killed, wounded, and 
prisoners 98 per cent of the present for duty. Only 10 returned to 
camp, and they were stretcher bearers. These are but samples; many 
other regiments lost in about the same proportion. The loss of officers 
was especially heavy; out of 5 Union division commanders 1 was killed, 
1 wounded, and 1 "captured; out of 15 brigade commanders 9 were 
on the list of casualties, and out of 61 infantry regimental commanders 
on the field 33 were killed, wounded, or missing, making a loss on Sun- 
day of 15 out of 81 commanders of divisions, brigades, and regiments. 
The Confederate Army lost its commander in chief, killed; 2 corps 
commanders wounded; 3 out of 5 of its division commanders wounded; 
1 of its brigade commanders killed or wounded, and 20 out of 78 of its 
regimental commanders killed or wounded. With such losses, the 
constant shifting of positions, and the length of time engaged, it is not 



21 

a matter to cause surprise that the Confederate Army was reduced, as 
General Beauregard claims, to less than 20,000 men in line, and that 
these were so exhausted that they sought their bivouacs with little 
regard to battle lines, and that both armies lay down in the rain to 
sleep as best they could with very little thought, by either, of any 
danger of attack during the night. 

We find at Shiloh that with three exceptions no breastworks were 
prepared by either side on Sunday night. Of these exceptions a Union 
battery near the Landing was protected by a few sscks of corn piled 
up in front of the guns; some Confederate regiment ai ranged the 
fallen timber in front of Marsh's brigade camp into a sort of defensive 
work that served a good purpose the next day; and Lieutenant Nis- 
pel. Company E, Second Illinois Light Artillery, dug a trench in front 
of his guns, making a slight earthwork, which may yet be seen, just 
at the rig-ht of the position occupied by the siege guns. He alone of 
all the officers on the field thought to use the spade, which was so soon 
to become an important weapon of war. 

During Sunday night the remainder of General Nelson's division 
and General Crittenden's division of the Army of the Ohio arrived 
upon the field, and early Monday morning the Union forces were put 
in motion to renew the battle. General Crittenden's right rested on 
the Corinth road, General Nelson, to his left, extending the line across 
Hamburg road. About 1,000 men " from the Army of the Tennessee, 
extended the line to the overflowed land of the Tennessee. Two bri- 
gades of General McCook's arriving on the field about 8 o'clock formed 
on Crittenden's right, Rousseau's brigade in front line and Kirk's in 
reserve. At McCook's right was Hurlbut, then McClernand, then 
Sherman, then Lew. Wallaee, whose right rested on the swamps of Owl 
Creek. The Army of the Ohio formed with one regiment of each 
brigade in reserve, and with Bojde's brigade of Crittenden's division 
as reserve for the whole. The remnant of W. H. L. Wallace's division, 
under command of Colonel Tuttle, was also in reserve behind General 
Crittenden. 

The early and determined advance of the Union Army soon con- 
vinced General Beauregard that fresh troops had arrived. He, how- 
ever, made his disposition as rapidly as possible to meet the advance 
by sending General Hardee to his right, General Bragg to his left, 
General Polk to left center, and General Breckinridge to right center 
with orders to each to put the Confederate troops into line of battle 
without regard to their original organizations. These officers hurried 
their staff officers to all parts of the field and soon formed a line. 
Hardee had Chalmers on the right in Stuart's camps; next to him was 
Colonel Wheeler in command of Jackson's old brigade; then Col. Pres- 
ton Smith with remnants of B. R. Johnson's brigade; Colonel Maney 
with Stephens's brigade. Then came Stewart, Cleburne, Statham, 
and Martin under Breckinridge. Trabue, across the main Corinth 
road, just west of Duncan's, with Anderson and Gibson to his left 
under Polk. Then Wood, Russell, and Pond under Bragg, finishing 
the line to Owl Creek. Very few brigades were intact, the different 
regiments were hurried into line from their bivouaeks and placed under 
the command of the nearest brigade officer, and were then detached 
and sent from one part of the field to another as they were needed to

reenforce threatened points, until it is Impossible to follow movements 
or determine just where *-: i< -1 1 regiment was engaged. 

Monday's battle opened by the advance of Gen. Lew. Wallace's 
division on the Union right, attacking Pond's brigade in Hare's 
brigade camp, and was continued on that Hank by a left wheel of 
Wallace, extending his right until he had gained the Confederate left 
flank. Nelson's division commenced his advance at daylight and soon 
developed the Confederate line of battle behind the peach orchard. 
He then waited for Crittenden and McCook to get into position, and 
then commenced the attack upon Hardee, in which he was soon joined 
by all the troops on the field. The fighting seems to have been most 
stubborn in the center, where Hazen, Crittenden, and McCook were 
contending with the forces under Polk and Breckinridge upon the 
same ground where W. H. L. Wallace and Prentiss fought on Sunday. 

The 20,000 fresh troops in the Union Army made 1 the contest an 
unequal one, and though stubbornly contested for a time, at about 2 
o'clock General Beauregard ordered the withdrawal of his army. To 
secure the withdrawal he placed Colonel Looney, of the Thirty-eighth 
Tennessee with his regiment, augmented by detachments from other 
regiments, at Shiloh Church, directed him to charge the Union center. 
In this charge Colonel Looney passed Sherman's headquarters and 
pressed the Union line back to the Purdy road; at the same time Gen- 
eral Beauregard sent batteries across Shiloh Branch and placed them 
in battery on the high ground beyond. With these arrangements, 
Beauregard, at -t o'clock, safely crossed Shiloh Branch with his army 
and placed his rear guard under Breckinridge in line upon the ground 
occupied by his army on Saturday night. The Confederate Army 
retired leisurely to Corinth, while the Union Army returned to the 
camps that it had occupied before the battle. 

General Beauregard, in his Century "war-book" article, page 6-t, in 
speaking of "The second days fighting at Shiloh," says: 

Our widely scattered force?, which it had been impossible to organize in the night 
after the late hour at which they were drawn out of action, were gathered in hand 
for tbe exigency as quickly as possible. 

Generals Bragg, Hardee, and Breckinridge hurried to their assigned positions — 
Hardee now to the extreme right, where were Chalmers' and Jackson's brigade of 
Bragg's corps; General Bragg to the left, where were assembled fragments of his own 
troops, as also of Clark's division, Polk's corps, with Trabue's brigade; Breckinridge 
was on the left of Hardee. This left a space to be occupied by General Polk, who, 
during the night, had gone with Cheatham's division back nearly to Hardee's posi- 
tion on the night of April 5. But just at the critical time, to my great pleasure, 
General Polk came upon the field with that essential division. 

By 7 o'clock the night before all of Nelson's division had been thrown across the 
Tennessee, and during the night had been put in position between Grant's discour- 
aged forces and our own. * * * After exchanging some shots with Forrest's 
cavalry, Nelson's division was confronted with a composite force embracing Chalmer's 
brigade, Moore's Texas regiment, with other parts of Withers's division; also the Cres- 
cent regiment of New Orleans and the Twenty-sixth Alabama, supported by well- 
posted batteries, and so stoutly was Nelson received that his division had to recede 
somewhat. Advancing again," however, about 8 o'clock, now reenforced by Hazen' 8 
brigade, it was our turn to retire with the loss of a battery. But rallying and taking 
the offensive, somewhat reenforced, the Confederates were able to recover their lost 
ground and guns inflicting a sharp loss on Hazen's brigade, that narrowly escaped 
capture. Ammen's brigade was also seriously pressed and must have been turned 
but for the opportune arrival of Terrill's regular battery of McCook's division. 

In the meantime Crittenden's division became involved in the battle, but was suc- 
cessfully kept at bay for several hours by the forces under Hardee and Breckinridge, 
until it was reenforced by two brigades of McCook's division, which had been added 
to the attacking force on the field after the battle had been joined. * * * 

By 1 o'clock General Bragg's forces on our left, necessarily weakened by the 



23 



withdrawal of a part of his troops to reinforce onr right and center, had become so 
seriously pressed that lie had called for aid. Some remnants of Louisiana, Alabama, 

and Tennessee regiments were gathered up and sent to support him as best they 
might, and I went with them personally. General Bragg now taking the offensive, 
pressed his adversary back. This was about 2 o'clock. My headquarters were still 
at Shiloh Church. 

The odds of fresh troops alone were now too great to justify the prolongation of 
the conflict. So, directing Adjutant-General Jordan to select at once a proper 
position in our near rear, and there establish a covering force including artillery, I 
dispatched my staff with orders to the several corps commanders to prepare to retire 
from the field, first making a show, however, at different points of resuming the 
offensive. These orders were executed, I may say, with no small skill, and the 
Confederate army began to retire at 2.30 p. m. without apparently the least per- 
ception on the part of the enemy that such a movement was going on.

This gives a Confederate loss of 24^ per cent of those present for 
duty, and a loss in the five divisions of Grant's army present for 
duty Sunday of 26f per cent. 

It is impossible to give losses of each day separately except as to 
general officers and regimental commanders. These are reported by 
name, and it is found that casualties among the officers of these grades 
are as follows: 

In the five divisions of Grant's army, loss on Sunday 45 

In the same divisions, loss on Monday 2 

In Lew. Wallace's division, loss on Monday 

In the Army of the Ohio, loss on Monday 3 

Total loss general officers and regimental commanders, Sunday and Mon- 
day .... 50 

In Confederate Army, casualties to officers of like grade, on Sunday were 30 

In Confederate Army, Monday 14 

Total loss of general officers and regimental commanders, Confederate 
Army 44 

No general pursuit of the Confederates was made. The orders of 
General Halleck forbade pursuit," so the Confederates were allowed to 
retire to Corinth while the Union Army occupied itself in burying the 
dead and caring for the wounded until General Halleck arrived, and 
assuming command, inaugurated the "advance upon Corinth," in which 
the most conspicuous and leading part was played by the spade. 

In answer to an inquiry made by the Secretary of War, General 
Halleck said: 6 

The newspaper accounts that our divisions were surprised are utterly false. Every 
division had notice of the enemy's approach hours before the battle commenced. 

Later, in transmitting a map to the Secretary, he said: 6 

The impression, which at one time seemed to have been received by the Depart- 
ment, that our forces were surprised in the morning of the 6th, is entirely erroneous. 
I am satisfied from a patient and careful inquiry and investigation that all our troops 
were notified of the enemy's approach some time before the battle commenced.

DETAILED MOVEMENTS OF ORGANIZATIONS. 

THE ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE. 

On the 6th day of April, 1862, the Army of the Tennessee was 
encamped on the west bank of the Tennessee River; the First, Second, 
Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Divisions at Pittsburg Landing, with 39,830 
officers and men present for duty; the Third Division at Crump's 
Landing-, with 7,564 officers and men present for duty. 

General Grant's headquarters was at Savannah, Tenn., where he 
was awaiting the arrival of General Buell. While at breakfast early 
Sunday morning, April 6, General Grant heard heavy tiring at Pitts- 
burg Landing, and leaving orders for General Nelson to move his 
division up the east bank of the river to Pittsburg, General Grant 
and staff repaired to the battlefield, where he arrived at about 8* a. m. 
He visited each of his divisions at the front, and finding that the 
attack was by a large force of the enemj", he sent an order for his 
Third Division to hasten to the field and a request to General Buell for 
reenforcements. The Army of the Tennessee was gradually driven 
back until at sunset it occupied a position extending from the Landing 
to Snake Creek Bridge. In this position it repulsed an attack made 
by the Confederates at 6 o'clock p. m. 

General Grant passed the night in bivouac with his troops, without 
shelter, and early next morning, reenforced b}^ his Third Division and 
by General Buell with three divisions of the Army of the Ohio, he 
renewed the battle, and at 4 p. m. had regained possession of the entire 
field. 

FIRST DIVISION. 

(McClernand's.) 

This division, composed of three brigades of infantry, four batteries 
of artillery, one battalion and two companies of cavalry, was ordered 
from Savannah to Pittsburg March 20, 1862, and went into camp across 
the main Corinth road about one-half mile east of Shiloh Church. On 
Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, the division formed for battle with its 
Third Brigade thrown forward to support Sherman's left; its First 
and Second Brigades along the Corinth road; McAllister's battery at 
the northwest corner of the Review field; Burrows's battery at center 
of second brigade; Dresser's battery at Water Oaks Pond; Schwartz's 
battery, first to Sherman's right, then at the crossroads. The division 
was attacked at about 9 a. m. and was driven from its position along 
the Corinth road at about 11 a. m. with the loss of Burrows's battery, 
one gun of McAllister's battery, and one gun of Schwartz's battery. 
It made its next stand at right angles to the center of its Second-Brigade 
camp, where Dresser's battery lost four guns. The division then 
retired to its fourth line, in the camp of its First Brigade, where it 
rallied and in a countercharge drove the Confederates back and 
recovered the whole of the camp of the Second Brigade and McCler- 
nand's headquarters, and captured Cobb's Kentucky battery at 12 m. 
It held this advance but a short time, when it was driven slowly back 
until at 2 p. m. it was again in the field of its First-Brigade camp, where 
it held its fifth line until 2.30 p. m. It then retired across Tilghman 
Creek to its sixth line, at "Cavalry Field," where at 4.30 p. m. it 



46 

repulsed a charge made by Pond's brigade and Wharton's cavalry, 
and then retired to the Hamburg and Savannah road, where, with its 
left thrown back, it bivouacked Sunday night. 

It advanced Monday morning over the same ground where it fought 
on Sunday, and at 4 p. m. reoccupied its camps on the field. > 

First Brigade. 
(Hare's.) 

This brigade of four regiments, forming the right of the First Divi- 
sion, was encaimped in Jones Field. It moved from its camp at about 
8 a. m. April 6, 1S62, by the left flank and formed in line of battle on 
the ridge between the Review field and the Corinth road, its left in 
edge of Duncan Field, in the following order from left to right: Eighth 
Illinois, Eighteenth Illinois, Thirteenth Iowa. The Eleventh Iowa, 
detached from the brigade, formed still farther to the right, supporting 
Dresser's battery at the Water Oaks Pond. 

In this position the three left regiments were attacked about 10 a. m. 
by Shaver's brigade of Hardee's corps, and at 11 a. m. were driven 
back across the Corinth road, the left behind the north side of Duncan 
Field. This position was held until McClernand advanced and recov- 
ered his camp at noon. These regiments then retired with the division, 
the Thirteenth Iowa participating in the repulse of Wharton's cavalry 
on sixth line at 4.30. Here Colonel Hare was wounded, and Col. M. M. 
Crocker, Thirteenth Iowa, took command of the brigade and conducted 
the three regiments to bivouac near the Fourteenth Iowa camp. The 
Eleventh Iowa, in support of Dresser's battery, fell back to the third 
and fourth lines with its division, and in the rally and recovery of camps 
it captured a standard from the enemy, and in conjunction with the 
Eleventh and Twentieth Illinois captured Cobb's battery. The regi- 
ment then fell back and at night was, still supporting the two remaining 
guns of Dresser's battery, in position at the left of the siege guns. 

On Monday this brigade was attached to Tuttle's command, which 
served as reserve for General Crittenden's division, Army of the Ohio, 
until about 3 p. m., when it was ordered to the front and charged the 
enemy southwest of Review field, the Eighth and Eighteenth Illinois 
each capturing one gun from the enemy. 

Second Brigade. 
(Marsh's.) 

This brigade of four regiments was encamped, with its left in Woolf 
Field, in the following order of regiments from left to right: Forty- 
fifth Illinois, Forty-eighth Illinois, Twentieth Illinois, Eleventh Illi- 
nois. It formed line of battle on its parade ground Sunday morning, 
April 6, 1862, and at about 8 a. m. moved out, first to the front, but 
immediately afterwards to the left, and formed along the Corinth road, 
its left at the northwest corner of the Review field, its right near the 
crossroads, Burrows's battery at the center. 

In this position the brigad3 was fiercely attacked by Wood's bri- 
gade of Hardee's corps and Stewart's brigade of Polk's corps. It with- 
stood the attack from about 10 a. in. to 11 a. m., when it fell back 
about 700 yards and re-formed at right angles to the center of its camp. 
It held this position for a short time and then fell back to Jones Field, 
where it rallied and in conjunction with other troops recaptured its 



47 

camp at about noon. In this advance the Twentieth and Eleventh 
Illinois, assisted by the Eleventh Iowa, captured Cobb's Confederate 
battery. The brigade retained possession of parts of its camp for 
about two hours, retiring slowly to Jones Field, where it was engaged 
until 2.30 p. m., when it fell back to Hamburg and Savannah road, 
where its three left regiments united with the Third Brigade and 
bivouacked Sunday night, just south of McArthur's headquarters. 
The Eleventh Illinois, reduced to a captain and 80 men, bivouacked near 
the siege guns, and was in reserve on Monday. The Twentieth, Forty- 
fifth, and Forty-eighth formed a part of Marsh's command on Mon- 
day and advanced nearly west, recovering their camDS at about 3 p. m. 

Third Brigade. 
(Raith's.) 

This brigade of four regiments was camped along the Hamburg and 
Purdy road, its right near the left of the Second Brigade, in the fol- 
lowing order from left to right: Forty-ninth Illinois, Forty-third 
Illinois, Twenty-ninth Illinois, Seventeenth Illinois. 

Colonel Rearden, senior officer present, being sick, Colonel Raith 
was informed, after his regiment was in line of battle, that he was to 
command the brigade. Under orders from division commander, he 
moved the right of his brigade forward to Shiloh Church to the sup- 
port of Sherman's left. In this position the brigade was attacked 
about a. m. April 6, 1862, on its left flank by Wood and Stewart 
and in front by Russell and Johnson, and was driven slowly back to 
the crossroads, where it joined the right of the Second Brigade. Here 
the Seventeenth and Forty-third, while supporting Schwartz's battery, 
were subjected to a crossfire of artillery and lost heavily. Colonel 
Raith was mortally wounded. The Foiiy-third was surrounded and 
cut its way out, losing 43 men killed, that were buried in one trench 
near the crossroads. Lieutenant Colonel Wood, who succeeded to the 
command of the brigade, did not hold his brigade intact. The Seven- 
teenth and Forty-third rallied at McClernand's third line and again at 
his fourth position, where they were joined by the Forty-ninth. The 
Seventeenth and Forty-ninth then retired to Hamburg and Savannah 
road. The Forty-third was engaged in the advance and retaking of 
the camp at noon, and then joined the Seventeenth and Forty-ninth at 
Hamburg and Savannah road, where the three regiments were engaged 
at 4.30 p. m., and bivouacked Sunday night. On Monday these regi- 
ments joined Marsh's command and served with him until the enemy 
retired from the field. The Twenty-ninth was engaged at Cavalry 
Field in resisting Pond's attack at 4.30 p. m., after which it retired to 
siege guns, where it remained Sunday night and Monday. McAllis- 
ter's battery lost one gun at northwest corner of review field, and was 
afterwards engaged in McClernand's fifth and sixth positions, and at 
the landing at 6 p. m., and on Monday, with Marsh's brigade. 

SECOND DIVISION. 

(W. H. L. Wallace's.) 

This division, composed of three brigades of infantry, four batteries 
of artillery, and four companies of cavalry, was commanded by Brig. 
Gen. C. F. Smith until April 2, 1862, when, on account of Smith's 
disability, Brig. Gen. W. H. L. Wallace was assigned to the command. 



48 

The division arrived at Pittsburg Landing March is and established 
its camp near the river between the Corinth road and Snake Creek. It 
formed at 8 a. in. Sunday morning, April Oth, when the First and 
Second Brigades and three batteries were eonducted by Wallace to a 
position on Corinth road just east of Duncan Field, where Turtle's 
brigade was formed south of the road, and two regiments of Sweeny's 
brigade on north side of the road. The other regiments of Sweeny's 
brigade were held in reserve for a time and then distributed to differ- 
ent parts of the held. McArthur's brigade was detached from the 
division and served on other parts of the field. Batteries D, H, and 
K, First Missouri Light Artillery, were placed on a ridge behind 
Tuttle's brigade. In this position Wallace was attacked at about 9.30 
a. m. by Shaver's brigade, assisted by artillery located in the Review 
field. At 10.30 a. m. the attack was renewed by Shaver, Stephens, 
and Stewart, followed at noon by four determined attacks by Gibson's 
brigade. General Ruggles then took charge of the Confederate forces 
in front of Wallace and assembled ten batteries and two sections of 
artillery on the west side of Duncan Field, and sent Wood, Anderson, 
Stewart, and Cleburne to reenforce Shaver in a renewed attack upon 
Wallace's front. At the same time the Union forces on Wallace's 
right and left retired, allowing the enemy to gain his flanks and rear. 
Seeing that he was being surrounded, Wallace sent his batteries to the 
rear and then attempted to move his infantry out by the flank along 
the Pittsburg road. While riding at the head of his troops and near 
the fork of the Eastern Corinth road he received a mortal wound and 
was left for dead upon the field. When that part of the field was 
recovered on Monday General Wallace was found to be alive. He 
was taken to Savannah, where he died on the 10th. Four regiments 
of the division did not receive orders to retire in time to save them- 
selves and were surrounded and captured at 5.30 p. m. The remainder 
of the division, under the command of Colonel Tuttle, retired to the 
right of the siege guns where the troops remained in line Sunday 
night. 

On Monday the infantry commanded by Tuttle acted as reserve to 
Crittenden's division of the Army of the Ohio, until about noon, when 
it advanced to front line on Crittenden's right and participated in all 
the after battles of the day. 

Battery A, First Illinois Light Artillery, served with McArthur's 
brigade on Sunday and had three guns in action with Sherman on 
Monda} r . The three Missouri batteries, when they retired from Wal- 
lace's line at 5 p. m., reported to Colonel Webster near the Landing 
and were put in line, where they assisted in repelling the last Confed- 
erate attack on Sunday. They were not engaged on Monday. 

First Brigade. 

(Tuttle's.) 

This brigade of four regiments was encamped near the river north of 
the Corinth road. It moved to the front Sunday morning, April 6, 
1862, by the Eastern Corinth road. When near southeast corner of 
Duncan field, Colonel Tuttle, riding at the head of his brigade, dis- 
covered the enemy in the woods beyond the field. He at once turned 
the head of his brigade to the right and threw his regiments into line 
in an old road behind Duncan Field in the following order from left 



49 

to right: Fourteenth Iowa, Twelfth Iowa, Seventh Iowa, Second 
Iowa. The right reaching to the Corinth road, the left extending 
one regiment beyond, or south of, Eastern Corinth road; the three 
right regiments behind a field; the left regiment behind a dense 
thicket. About 9.30 a. m. Confederate batteries opened tire upon the 
brigade. This was soon followed by infantry attack coming through 
the thick brush on the left. At about 10.30 a. m. Stephens's brigade 
made an attack through the field. He was repulsed when he reached 
the middle of the field. This was closely followed by a second attack 
by Stephens, assisted by General Stewart, commanding Hindman's 
division. About noon Gibson's brigade was sent against Tuttle's 
position, and made four determined but unsuccessful charges 
lasting until after 2 p. m., when it withdrew and Shaver made his 
third attack, in which Lieutenant Colonel Dean of the Seventh Arkan- 
sas was killed within a few yards of the front of the Fourteenth Iowa. 
General Ruggles then assembled sixty -two pieces of artillery on west 
side of Duncan Field and concentrated their tire upon Tuttle and the 
batteries in his rear. At the same time Ruggles sent Wood, Ander- 
son, and Stewart to reenforce Shaver in a renewed attack at the front. 
While meeting this attack Tuttle was ordered at 5 p. m. to withdraw 
his brigade. He gave personal direction to the Second and Seventh 
Iowa and with them retired to the right of Hurlbut's division, near 
the siege guns, where he assumed command of the remnant of the 
Second Division and formed his line near the camp of the Fourteenth 
Iowa. The staff officer sent by Tuttle to order the Twelfth and Four- 
teenth Iowa to fall back directed the commanding officers of those 
regiments to "about face and fall back slowly." Marching by the 
rear rank about 200 yards, these regiments encountered Confederate 
troops across their line of retreat. These they engaged and forced 
back to the camp of Hurlbut's First Brigade, where the Confederates 
were reenforced and the two regiments, together with two from the 
Third Brigade, and a part of Prentiss' division were surrounded and 
captured at 5.30 p. m. The Fourteenth Iowa surrendered to the 
Ninth Mississippi of Chalmers' brigade, which had occupied the 
extreme right of the Confederate army. The Twelfth Iowa surren- 
dered to Colonel Looney, of the Thirtj'-eighth Tennessee, Pond's bri- 
gade, from the extreme left of the Confederate Army. 

The Second and Seventh Iowa were with Tuttle's command on Mon- 
day in reserve to General Crittenden. During the day the Second 
Iowa was sent to reenforce Nelson's left and in a charge across a field 
defeated an attempt of the enemy to turn the left of the Army of the 
Ohio. Later the Seventh Iowa charged a battery in Crittenden's front. 

Second Brigade. 
(McArthur's.) 

This brigade, composed of five regiments, the Ninth and Twelfth 
Illinois, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Missouri, and the Eighty-first 
Ohio, was encamped on Hamburg and Savannah road near Snake 
Creek. The first order to the brigade Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, 
disunited its regiments and sent them to different parts of the field, 
and they were not united again until after the battle was over. 

The Thirteenth Missouri went to Sherman; the Fourteenth Mis- 
souri and Eighty-first Ohio to guard Snake Creek bridge. General

McArthur, with the Ninth and Twelfth Illinois and Willafd's battery, 
moved directly south along the Hamburg road to the support of Col- 
onel Stuart. Finding that Stuart had moved to the left rear of his 
camps, McArthur formed his command to Stuart's right rear just east 
of the Peach Orchard, the Ninth Illinois on the rightnextto Hamburg 
road; the Twelfth Illinois to its left; Willard's battery in rear of the 
Ninth. In this position McArthur sustained himself against Jackson's 
brigade until about 2 p. m., when Bowen from Reserve Corps was 
sent to reenforce Jackson. Under this combined attack McArthur was 
compelled to fall back. The Ninth Illinois, having- lost 58 per cent of 
men engaged, retired to camp for ammunition and repairs. It was 
again engaged near its camp at 4.30 p. m., and then joined Tuttle's com- 
mand at the Fourteenth Iowa camp, and served with him on Monday. 
The Twelfth Illinois fell back to a second position where it joined the 
Fiftieth and Fifty-seventh Illinois and was engaged until about 4 p. m., 
when it retired to its camp and passed the night. On Monday it was 
engaged with McClernand's command. 

The Fourteenth Missouri was engaged Sunday in a skirmish with 
Brewer's cavalry on the right of Union line. On Monday it joined the 
Third Division and supported Thompson's battery. The Eighty-first 
Ohio remained on guard at Snake Creek bridge until 3 p. m. It then 
moved south to Hurlbut's headquarters, where it was engaged in the 
4.30 conflict on Hamburg road. It bivouacked on McClernand's left 
Sunday night and served with Marsh's command on Monday. The 
Thirteenth Missouri joined McDowell's brigade on Sunday and was 
engaged with it in the conflict with Trabue at noon. It bivouacked 
Sunday night near Ninth Illinois camp and joined Sherman on Monday. 
General McArthur was wounded on Sunday and was succeeded in 
command by Colonel Morton, of the Eighty-tirst Ohio. 

Third Brigade. 

(Sweeny's.) 

This brigade was composed of Eighth Iowa and the Seventh, Fif- 
tieth, Fifty -second, Fifty-seventh, and Fifty-eighth Illinois. It was 
encamped between the First and Second brigades and followed the 
First Brigade Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, on the Corinth road to 
the Eastern Corinth road, where it halted in reserve. The Fifty-eighth 
and Seventh Illinois were at once moved forward to Duncan Field, 
where they formed at 9.30 a. m., on north side of the Corinth road, 
prolonging Tuttle's line and connecting with McClernand's left. Soon 
after, the Fiftieth Illinois was detached and sent to the left, where it 
became engaged on McArthur's left. It fell hack with the Twelfth 
Illinois to position east of the Bloody Pond, where it was joined at 
about 3 p. m. by the Fifty-seventh Illinois. These regiments held 
their position on left of the army until 4 p. m., when they fell back 
and supported Stone's battery near the Landing in the last action of 
the day. About noon the Eighth Iowa was put in line between Tuttle 
and Prentiss, where it supported Hickenlooper's battery until 5 p. m. 
The Fifty-second Illinois was sent, about 3 p. m., to the right. As it 
was moving down Tilghman Creek it ran into Wharton's cavahw, which 
was moving up the creek. A few volleys were exchanged by head of 
column, then the Fifty-second moved to the camp of the Fifteenth Illi- 
nois and was there engaged in repelling Pond's 4.30 p. m. attack. It 



51 

then retired to the siege guns. The Seventh and Fifty-eighth Illinois, 
on Tuttle's right, and the Eighth Iowa, on his left, participated in all 
the engagements described in the account of Tuttle's brigade ^until 4 
p. m., when the Seventh retired to McClernand\s seventh line. The 
Eighth Iowa and the Fifty-eighth Illinois were surrounded and cap- 
tured at the same time that Prentiss was captured. Colonel Sweeny 
was wounded on Sunday and was succeeded on Monday b} r Colonel 
Baldwin, Fifty-seventh Illinois. 

THIRD DIVISION. 

(Lew. Wallace's.) 

This division, composed of three brigades of infantry, two batteries 
of artillery, and two battalions of cavalry, was encamped north of 
Snake Creek; the First Brigade at Crump's Landing; the Second Brig- 
ade at Stoiry Lonesome; the Third Brigade at Adamsville. Sunday 
morning, April 6, 1862, hearing sounds of battle up the river, General 
Wallace ordered his command to concentrate at Stony Lonesome, 
where at 11.30 a. m., he received orders from General Grant, directing 
him to join the right of the army then engaged on the south side of 
Snake Creek. At 12 m., leaving two regiments and one gun to 
guard the public property at Crump's Landing, General Wallace 
started with his First and Second Brigades for the battlefield by the 
Shunpike road, which led to the right of Sherman's division as formed 
for battle in the morning. 

At about 2.30 p. m. a staff officer from General Grant overtook Gen- 
eral Wallace on this road and turned him back to the river road, by 
which the Third Brigade having fallen into column, his division reached 
the battlefield after the action of Sunday was over. 

The division bivouacked in line of battle, facing west along the 
Savannah road north of McArthur's headquarters; the First Brigade 
on the left, with Thompson's battery on its right; the Second Brigade 
in the center; the Third Brigade on the right, with Thurber's battery 
at its center. 

At daylight Monday morning, April T, 1862, the batteries of the 
division engaged and dislodged Ketchum's Confederate battery, posted 
in the camp of the Eighth Illinois. At 6.30 a. m., the division, its 
right on Owl Creek, advanced en echelon of brigades, left in front, 
crossed Tilghman Creek, and drove the Confederates from their position 
at Oglesby's headquai'ters. Then wheeling to the left against the left 
flank of the enemy, it advanced righting, until at 4 p. m. it had pushed 
the Confederates through the Union camps and beyond Shiloh Branch. 
Near nightfall the division retired under orders to General Sherman's 
camps, where it bivouacked Monday night. 

First Brigade. 

(Smith's.) 

This brigade was encamped at Crump's Landing. It moved out 2^ 
miles on Purdy road to Stony Lonesome and joined the Second Brig- 
ade early Sunday morning, April 6, 1862. At 12 m., it started for 
Shiloh by a road leading southwesterly toward the right of Sherman's 
camps. At about 2.30 p. m. the brigade was counter marched to the 
Adamsville and Pittsburg road by which it reached the battlefield about 



52 

dark and bivouacked in front of the camp of the Fourteenth Missouri. 
On Monday the brigade formed in Perry Field, near McArthur's head- 
quarters; the Twenty-fourth Indiana on the left, the Eleventh Indiana 
on the "Tight, and the Eighth Missouri in reserve. At about 6.30 
a. m. it advanced across Tilghman Creek and at 8 a. m. entered the 
field of Hare's brigade camp. It crossed said field in a southwesterly 
direction, driving back the Confederate forces, thence through the 
Cresent Field and to McDowell's brigade camp, where it bivouacked 
Monday night. Losses during the day, 18 killed and 114 wounded. 
The Twenty-fourth Indiana lost its lieutenant colonel, 1 captain, and 1 
lieutenant killed. 

Second Brigade. 

(Thayer's.) 

This brigade, consisting of Twenty-third Indiana, First Nebraska, 
Fifty-eighth Ohio, and Sixty-eighth Ohio was encamped at Stony 
Lonesome, 2£ miles from the Tennessee River, on the Purdy road. 
The Sixty-eighth Ohio was detailed to guard the baggage, the other 
regiments of the brigade followed the First Brigade in its march 
toward Shiloh April 6, 1862. It countermarched, from a point 4i 
miles out, to the Adamsville and Pittsburg road, and thence via river 
road to the battlefield, where it arrived after dark and bivouacked, in 
line of battle, at the right of the First Brigade. Monday morning it 
formed en echelon in right rear of the First Brigade, the First Nebraska 
on the left, the Twenty-third Indiana on the right, and the Fifty-eighth 
Ohio in reserve. It followed the movements of the First Brigade 
through the day and bivouacked at night in the camp of the Forty- 
sixth Ohio. 

Third Brigadi . 
(Whittlesey's.) 

This brigade of four Ohio regiments, to wit. the Twentieth, Fifty- 
sixth, Seventy-sixth, and Seventy-eighth, was encamped at Adams 
ville, 1 miles from Crumps. It formed in line early Sunday morning, 
April 6, 1862, when tiring was heard at Shiloh, with all its camp equi- 
page on wagons, and remained in line until 2 p. m., when orders were 
received to join the other brigades en route for Shiloh. It marched 
on direct road toward Pittsburg, falling in behind the other brigades 
as they came back into that road from the countermarch. At about 4 
p. m. the Fifty-sixth was detached and ordered to go with baggage to 
Crumps Landing. The other regiments arrived on the battlefield 
after dark and bivouacked in front of the camp of the Eighty- first 
Ohio. Monday morning the brigade formed the extreme right of 
Union line, its right, the Seventy-sixth, on the swamps of Owl Creek, 
the Seventy-eighth on the left in rear of the right of the Second 
Brigade, the Twentieth in reserve, until it crossed Tilghman Creek, 
when it took position on the right. Retaining this formation the 
brigade advanced, swinging to the left until 11 a. m., when it was 
transferred to left of the division in support of Stuart's brigade of 
Sherman's division. The Seventy-sixth remained on the left, the 
other regiments soon returned to the right, the Twentieth in front 
line, the Seventy-eighth in reserve. The last engagement by this 



53 

brigade was between the Twentieth Ohio, in the field near McDowell's 
headquarters, and Confederates at camp of Forty-sixth Ohio. The 
brigade bivouacked in camp of Sixth Iowa Monday night. 

FOURTH DIVISION. 

(Hurlbut's.) 

This division, composed of three brigades of infantry, three batteries 
of artillery, and two battalions of cavalry, arrived at Pittsburg Land- 
ing on boats March 10, 1802. On the 18th. it disembarked and estab- 
lished its camps about 1 mile from the river, near the point where the 
Hamburg and Savannah road crosses the road from Pittsburg to 
Corinth. 

The division was formed about 8 a. m., Sunday morning, April 6, 
1802, and soon after the Second Brigade was sent to reenforce General 
McClernand. 

The First and Third Brigades, with the artillery, moved out to the 
support of Prentiss's division, but finding that Prentiss was falling 
back, Hurlbut put his division in line at the Peach Orchard field, 
the First Brigade on the south side, the Third Brigade on the west 
side, the batteries in the field. In this position he was attacked by 
Chalmers's and Gladden's brigades, which were following Prentiss's 
division, and by Robertson's, Harper's, and Girardey's batteries, which 
were stationed in Prentiss's camps. A shell from one of these bat- 
teries blew up a caisson belonging to M} T ers's Thirteenth Ohio Battery; 
the men stampeded, abandoning their guns, and were not again in 
action at Shiloh. 

Mann's battery fought with the division all day, and again on Mon- 
day. Ross's battery did excellent service until ordered to fall back at 
4 p. m., and was preparing to retire to the Landing when it was 
charged b} r Lindsay's Mississippi cavalry and captured. Only two 
guns were saved. 

Hurlbut held his position on two sides of the Peach Orchard until 
about 1.30 p. m., when he was attacked by Breckinridge's corps. 
Finding that Stuart was falling back on the left, Hurlbut retired to 
the north side of the field with his First Brigade, and transferred his 
Third Brigade from the right to the left flank. Here he maintained 
himself until 3 p. m., when he was again obliged to retire to the left 
of his camps. About 1 p. m. he found that his left was again being 
turned and fell back to the siege guns and re-formed. The Second 
Brigade rejoined the division and all participated in the final action of 
the day. The division bivouacked in line of battle in front of the 
siege guns, and on Monday the First and Second Brigades and Mann's 
battery formed on McClernand's left; the Third Brigade reported to 
Sherman. All were engaged until the Confederates retired from the 
field. 

First Brigade. 

(Williams's.) 

This brigade of four regiments was encamped across the Corinth 
road, li miles from the river. On Sunday morning, April 0, 1802, at 
about 8 o'clock, it moved out on the Hamburg road and formed line 
of battle along the south side of the Peach Orchard field in following 



54 

order from left to right: Forty-first Illinois, Twenty-eighth Illinois,' 
Thirty-second Illinois, Third Iowa. In this position it was attacked 
by skirmishers from Chalmers's brigade and by artillery fire, by which 
Colonel Williams was disabled and the command of the brigade passed 
to Colonel Pugh, Forty-first Illinois. Chalmers's brigade was with- 
drawn and Colonel Pngh retired his brigade to the center of the field, 
where he was attacked at about 1.30 p. m. by Statham's and Stephen's 
brigades, and at 2.30 was driven back to the north side of the field. 
The Thirty-second Illinois was transferred to the left of the brigade 
east of Hamburg road, and lost its Lieutenant Colonel Boss, killed. 
As the left of the line was driven back, Colonel Pugh again fell back 
to the Wicker Field, where he held his line until -i p. m., when the bri- 
gade retired, under II urlbut's orders, to position near siege guns, where 
it remained in line Sunday night. The Third Iowa, occupying the 
right of Hurlbut's line, connected with Prentiss and remained until 
about 5 p. m., then retired through its camp and along Pittsburg road 
just before the Confederates closed their line behind Prentiss. Major 
Stone, commanding the regiment, was captured; other casualties of the 
day among the officers left the regiment in command of Lieutenant 
Crosley. He joined his command to the Thirteenth Iowa in the last 
action of the day, and then reported to his brigade commander. He 
commanded the regiment, in action with his brigade, the next day. 

On Monday the brigade formed on McClernand's left and was 
engaged until noon. 

Second Brigade. 
(Veatch'*.) 

This brigade, of four regiments, was encamped across the Hamburg 
and Savannah road, north of the Corinth road. It was sent April 6, 
1862, to reenforce McClernand, and moved out along the Corinth road 
and formed in line behind Marsh's brigade at about 9 a. m. in the fol- 
lowing order from left to right: Twenty-fifth Indiana, Fourteenth 
Illinois, Fortv-sixth Illinois, Fifteenth Illinois. It became engaged at 
about 10.30 a. m., and at 11 a. m. was compelled to retire. The Twenty- 
fifth Indiana and Fourteenth Illinois fell back 200 yards, changing 
front to rear on left companies, aird formed along the road that runs 
from review field past McClernand's headquarters. A little later they 
retired to the right of Hare's brigade, where they held their position 
until after noon, when they fell back to McClernand's sixth line, where 
they were engaged in Pond's repulse at 4.30 a. in., after which they 
joined Hurlbut in his last position on Sunday. 

The Fifteenth Illinois lost all its field officers and several captains at first 
position and retired at 11 a. m. to the Jones Field, where it was joined 
by the Forty-sixth Illinois in supporting Barrett's battery. These two 
regiments joined McDowell's left in the advance at 12 m. and continued 
in line until 1 p. m., when they retired — the Fifteenth Illinois to join 
Hurlbut, the Forty-sixth Illinois to its camp for dinner; later the 
Forty sixth joined Marsh's command on the Hamburg road and assisted 
in the final action of the day and was with Marsh's command on Mon- 
day. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Illinois and Twenty-fifth Indiana, 
under Colonel Veatch, formed the left of the Arni} r of the Tennessee 
on Monda} r and joined McCook's right until about 11 a. m., when they 
crossed the Corinth road near Duncan's and were engaged in Review 
field and in front line until 1 p. m. 



55 

Third Brigade. 
(Lau man's. ) 

This brigade had formerly belonged to the Army of the Ohio, where 
it was known as Craft's brigade. It was sent from that army to 
reen force Grant at Fort Donelson and had remained with the Army of 
the Tennessee. General Lauman was assigned to the command April 
5, 18(52. Its camp was on the south side of Dill Branch, its right at 
the Hamburg road. About 8 a. m. Sunday April 6, 1862, it moved 
out to the west side of the Peach Orchard field and formed line with 
its right in the woods near the head of Tilghman Creek. The order of 
its regiments from left to right was: Seventeenth Kentucky, Twenty- 
fifth Kentuck} T , Forty-fourth Indiana, Thirty-first Indiana. About 
9 a. m. it was attacked through the timber on its right by Gladden's 
brigade, closely followed in succession by attacks, upon its whole line, 
by Stephens's brigade and the right of Gibson's brigade. One of 
the features of the battle at this place was the burning of the leaves 
and brush in the woods where the wounded were lying. 

About 2 p. m. the brigade was transferred to the left and formed in 
open woods just east of the Hamburg road, the Thirty-first Indiana in 
reserve on left flank. This position was held until about 1 p. m., when 
the brigade retired with its division to the seige guns. After the 
action for the day had closed it moved 150 yards to front and bivouacked 
for the night. On Monday at 10 a m. it reported to Sherman and 
served with him until close of the battle. 

FIFTH DIVISION. 

(Sherman's. ) 

This division, of four brigades of infantry, three batteries of artillery, 
two battalions, and two independent companies of cavalry, was organized 
at Paducah about the 1st of March, 1862. It went up the Tennessee 
River to the mouth of Yellow Creek, and returned to Pittsburg March 
16, disembarked, and marched out to Monterey, returned to Pittsburg, 
and established its camps on the 19th along the Hamburg and Purely 
road, its center at Shiloh Church. On Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, 
the division formed in front of its camps where its Third and Fourth 
Brigades became engaged at 7.30 a. m. These brigades, reenforced by 
Raith's brigade of the First Division, held the line until 10 a. m., when 
Sherman attempted to fall back to thePurdy road. In this movement 
his Third and Fourth Brigades became disorganized and retired to 
Hamburg and Savannah road, only parts of regiments remaining in 
line. McDowell's brigade, when ordered at 10 a. m. to fall back, 
became engaged in Crescent field and afterwards on McClernand's 
right until about 2 p. m. 

Stuart's brigade was engaged with Chalmers on the extreme left until 
2 p. m. Barrett's battery formed in front of Shiloh Church and opened 
fire at 7.30 a. m.; then at 10 a. m. retired to Jones Field, where it was 
engaged until 2 p. m., when it retired to the river. Waterhouse's bat- 
tery went into action at 7 a. m. with two guns at Rhea House; these 
soon retired to main battery 150 yards in rear, where the full battery 
remained in action until 10 a. m., when it was outflanked arnd lost three 
guns. The remainder of the battery retired disabled from the field. 



56 

Behr's battery was with McDowell's brigade, one gun guarding the 

bridge at Owl Creek. When Sherman ordered McDowell to join hi.s 
other brigades nearShiloh Church, Captain Bohr moved five guns down 
the road, and was directing them into battery when he was killed; his 
men stampeded, leaving the guns on the field. The gun at Owl Creek 
served with McDowell in his first engagement, then retired. 

On Monday Stuart's and Buckland's brigades were engaged on the 
le,ft of Low. Wallace all day. Sherman was wounded on Sunday, but 
kept the field until the enemy retired on Monday. 

First Brigade. 

(McDowell's.) 

This brigade, of three regiments, was encamped on the Hamburg and 
Purdy road, its right on the high ground near Owl Creek, in the fol- 
lowing order from left to right: Fortieth Illinois, Forty-sixth Ohio, 
Sixth Iowa. At the first alarm Sunday morning, April 6 ?> 1862, each 
regiment formed upon its color line. Two companies of the Sixth 
Iowa, with one gun of Behr's battery, were on guard at the bridge 
over Owl Creek. About 8 a. m. the brigade was advanced to the 
brow of the hill overlooking Shiloh Branch, the Fortieth Illinois join- 
ing the right of Buckland's brigade. After a skirmish with Pond's 
brigade McDowell was ordered at 10 a. m. to retire to the Purdy road 
and move to the left to connect with Buckland's brigade near the cross- 
roads. In obedience to this order the brigade abandoned its camps 
without a contest and moved by the left flank past McDowell's head- 
quarters, when it was discovered that the Confederates occupied the 
road between this brigade and Buckland's. McDowell then moved 
directly north and put his brigade in line on west side of Crescent 
field, facing east, where he engaged and drove back the force of the 
enemy moving into said field. The brigade then moved northeasterly 
across Crescent Field and into Sowell Field, facing south, its left at 
Sowell house, where it connected with McClernand at 11.30 a. m., and 
advanced with him to the center of Marsh's brigade camp. Here the 
Sixth Iowa was transferred from right to center of brigade, and Thir- 
teenth Missouri placed between the Fortieth Illinois and Sixth Iowa, 
the Forty-sixth Ohio slightly in rear and to the extreme right of the 
line. 

At about 12 m. the brigade was attacked on its right flank by Trabue. 
In an engagement lasting until 1.30 p. m. the Sixth Iowa had 52 killed— 
they were buried in one grave where they fell; the Forty -sixth Ohio 
had 246 killed and w T ounded, and the Fortieth Illinois 216 killed and 
wounded. The brigade commander w T as thrown from his horse and 
disabled. At 2.30 p. m. the brigade retired to the Landing and later 
formed behind Hurl but. On Monday, the Sixth Iowa and Fortieth 
Illinois were attached to Garfield's brigade of Army of the Ohio, and 
remained with him until Wednesday, but were not engaged. 

Second Brigade. 

(Stuart's.) 

This brigade, of three regiments, was encamped at the junction of 
Hamburg and Purdy road with the Hamburg and Savannah road in 
the following order from left to right: Fifty-fifth Illinois, Fifty-fourth 
Ohio. Seventy-first Ohio; a company from each regiment on picket, 



57 

one at Lick Creek Ford, two on Bark road. These pickets gave 
warning - , about 8 a. in. April 6, 1862, of the approach of the enemy. 

Stuart formed his brigade on regimental color lines, but finding that 
he was exposed to artillery fire from batteries on bluff south of Locust 
Grove Creek, and obe} r ing orders to guard Lick Creek Ford, he 
moved, at 10 a. m. to his left, placing the Fifty-fourth Ohio on his 
left behind McCullers field, the Fifty -fifth Illinois next to right, and 
the Seventy-first Ohio with its right behind the left of the Fifty-fifth 
Illinois camp. Chalmers placed his brigade in line on the bluff south 
of Locust Grove Creek, and, after clearing Stuart's camps with his 
artillery, moved across the creek and attacked the Fifty-fourth Ohio 
and Fifty- fif th Illinois in position. After a short conflict Stuart with- 
drew to a ridge running due east from his headquarters. The right, 
Seventy-first Ohio, occupying the buildings used as Stuart's head- 
quarters, was here attacked by the right of Jackson's brigade and 
very soon retired, leaving a captain and 50 men prisoners. One part 
of the regiment under the major passed down a ravine to the Tennes- 
see River, where they were picked up by a gunboat; another part 
retired to the Landing where they joined the brigade at night. 

The Fifty-fourth Ohio and Fifty-fifth Illinois, with Stuart in com- 
mand, successfully resisted the attacks of Chalmers until 2 p. m., when 
their ammunition was exhausted and they were obliged to fall back to 
the Landing, where they reformed at the Log House, the Fifty-fourth 
Ohio in what is now the cemetei*}^, the Fifty-fifth Illinois to its right 
supporting Silfversparre's battery, where they were engaged in resist- 
ing Chalmers' Sunday evening attack. Stuart was Avounded on Sunday, 
and was succeeded on Monday by Col. T. Kilby Smith, who, with the 
Fifty-fourth Ohio and Fifty-fifth Illinois, joined Sherman's command 
and fought on right next to Lew. Wallace all day. 

Third Brigade. 

(Hildebrand's. ) 

This brigade was encamped with its right, the Seventy-seventh Ohio, 
at Shiloh Church; its left, the Fifty-third Ohio, near the Rhea House 
and separated from the Fifty-seventh Ohio by a small stream with 
marshy margins. About 7 a. m. April 6, 1862, the brigade formed to 
meet the attack of the enemy, the Fifty-seventh and Seventy-seventh 
in advance of their camps in the valley of Shiloh Branch. The Fifty- 
third, being threatened by an attack in left Hank, formed its line per- 
pendicular to the left of its camp. While in this position the brigade 
was attacked from the front by Cleburne's and Wood's brigades. This 
attack, falling upon the exposed flank of the Fifty-third, compelled it 
to change front to the rear on left company and form a new line in 
rear of its camp. Attacked in this position, the regiment fell back 
disorganized, passing to the rear around the flank of the Forty-ninth 
Illinois, eight companies going to the Landing at once, two companies 
under the adjutant, PI C. Dawes, joining the Seventeenth Illinois. The 
eight companies were reformed near the Landing by the major and sup- 
ported Bouton's battery in McClernand's seventh line, and on Monday 
advanced with Marsh's command. 

The Fifty-seventh and Seventy-seventh were reinforced by Raith's 
brigade of the First Division and held their positions for some time, 
when the}% too, fell back disorganized and were not again in line as 
regiments. Colonel Hildebrand acted as aid for General McClernand 
during Sunday. 



58 

Fourth I ))'!(/(!</< . 
(Buckland's. ) 

This brigade was encamped with its left at Shiloh Church in the fol- 
lowing-order from left to right: Seventieth Ohio, Forty-eight Ohio. 
Seventy-second Ohio. It formed for battle Sunday morning April 0. 
1862, about 200 yards in front of its camps, where it withstood the 
attacks of Cleburne, Anderson, and Johnson until 10 a. m. Its right 
flank was then threatened by Fond and Trabue and it was ordered to fall 
back to the Purdy road. In making this movement the brigade was 
disorganized and scattered. The colonel of the Seventieth Ohio with 
a portion of his regiment joined the Third Brigade of McClernand's 
divisionand fell back with it to Jones Field, where it joined McDowell's 
brigade and was engaged with it until 1 p. m., when it retired to the 
Hamburg road. The adjutant and forty men of the Seventieth joined 
the Eleventh Illinois and fought with it until night. The Forty-eighth 
and Seventy-second retired to Hamburg and Savannah road, where 
Colonel Buckland reorganized his brigade and was engaged in the 4.30 
p. m. affair, after which the Forty-eighth retired to the river for ammu- 
nition and spent the night in line near the log house, the Seventieth 
and Seventy -second passing the night in bivouac near McArthur's 
headquarters. 

On Monday the brigade was reunited, and, with Stuart's brigade, 
formed Sherman's line that advanced to the right of McClernand\s 
camps, thence southwesterly along the front of said camps to Shiloh 
Church, where the brigade reoccupied their camps at about 1 p. m. 

SIXTH DIVISION. 

(Prentiss's.) 

On the 26th day of March, 1862, General Grant, by Special Order 
No. 36, assigned General Prentiss to the command of unattached 
troops then arriving at Pittsburg Landing, with directions to organize 
these regiments, as they arrived upon the field, into brigades, and the 
brigades into a division, to be designated the Sixth Division. 

Under this order one brigade of four regiments, commanded by Col- 
onel Peabody, had been organized and was encamped on west side of 
the Eastern Corinth road, 100 yards south of the Barnes Field. Another 
brigade, commanded by Colonel Miller, Eighteenth Missouri, was par- 
tially organized. Three regiments had reported and were in camp on 
the east side of the Eastern Corinth road. Other regiments on their 
way up the river had been ordered to report to General Prentiss, but 
had not arrived. 

The Sixteenth Iowa arrived on the field on the 5th and sent its morn- 
ing report to General Prentiss in time to have it included in his report 
of present for duty that day; it was not fully equipped and did not 
disembark from the boat until morning of the 6th. The Fifteenth 
Iowa and Twenty-third Missouri arrived at the Landing Sunday morn- 
ing, April 6, 1862. The Twenty-third Missouri reported to General 
Prentiss at his third position about 9.30 a. m., and was placed in line 
at once as part of his command. The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa 
were, by General Grant's order, sent to the right to reinforce McCler- 
nand. They reported to him at his fifth line in Jones Field, and were 



59 

hotly engaged from about 1 p. m. to 2.30 p. m. Hickenlooper's Fifth 
Ohio Battery and Munch's First Minnesota Battery and two battalions 
of Eleventh Illinois Cavalry had been assigned to the division and 
were encamped in rear of the infantry. One company from each regi- 
ment was on picket 1 mile in front of the camps. On Saturday, April 
5, a reconnoitering party under Colonel Moore, Twenty-first Missouri, 
was sent out to the front. Colonel Moore reported Confederate cav- 
alry and some evidences of an infantry force in front, but he failed to 
develop a regular line of the enemy. Prentiss doubled his pickets, 
and at 3 a. m. Sunday sent out another party of three companies of 
the Twenty-fifth Missouri, under Major Powell, to reconnoiter well to 
the front. This party encountered the Confederate picket under 
Major Hardcastle in Fraley's field at 4.55 a. m. These pickets at once 
engaged, and continued their fire until about 6.30 a. m., when the 
advance of the main line of Hardee's corps drove Powell back. 

General Prentiss, hearing the firing, formed his division at 6 a. m. 
and sent Peabody's brigade in advance of his camp to relieve the retir- 
ing pickets and posted Miller's brigade 300 yards in front of his camp, 
with batteries in the field at right and left of the Eastern Corinth road. 
In this position the division was attacked at S a. m. by the brigades of 
Gladden, Shaver, Chalmers, and Wood and driven back to its camp, 
where the contest was renewed. At 9 a. m. Prentiss was compelled to 
abandon his camp and fall back to his third position, which he occu- 
pied at 9.05 a. m., in an old road between the divisions of Hurlbut and 
W. H. L. Wallace. Hickenlooper lost two guns in first position and 
Munch had two disabled. Each brought four guns into line atthe Hor- 
nets' Nest. Prentiss was here joined by the Twenty -third Missouri, 
which gave him about 1,000 men at his third position. With this 
force he held his line against the attacks of Shaver, Stephens, and 
Gibson, as described in account of Tuttle's brigade, until 4 p. m. when 
Hurlbut fell back and Prentiss was obliged to swing his division back 
at right angles to Tuttle in order to protect the left Hank. When Tut- 
tle's left regiments marched to the rear Prentiss fell back behind them 
towards the Corinth road and was surrounded and captured at 5.30 
p. m. near the forks of the Eastern Corinth road. Hickenlooper and 
Munch withdrew just before they were surrounded, Hickenlooper 
reporting to Sherman and becoming engaged in the 4.30 action on 
Hamburg road. Munch's battery reported to Colonel Webster and 
was in position at mouth of Dill Branch, where it assisted in repelling 
last attack Sunday night. 

First Brigade. 

(Peabody's.) 

This brigade of four regiments was encamped on west side of East- 
ern Corinth road, about one-half mile south of Hamburg and Purdy 
road, in the following order from left to right: Sixteenth Wisconsin, 
Twenty-first Missouri, Twelfth Michigan, Twenty-fifth Missouri. 
Three companies of the Twenty-fifth Missouri under its major, Powell, 
were sent out at 3 a. m. April 6, 1862, to reconnoiter. Moving south- 
west from camp, Powell passed between the Rhea and Seay fields 
and into the main Corinth road, where one of Sherman's picket posts 
was stationed. Beyond the picket, and near the southeast corner of 
Fraley field, he encountered Confederate pickets, and was fired upon at 



60 

1.55 a. m. After an eng agement of over an hour, Powell fell back 
before the advance of Wood's brigade to the Seay Field, where he was 
reinforced by Colonel Moore with his regiment, the Twenty-first Mis- 
souri, and four companies of the Sixteenth Wisconsin, Colonel Moore 
look command, but was soon severely wounded, and Captain Saxe, Six- 
teenth Wisconsin, was killed. Lieutenant Colonel Woodyard, Twenty- 
first Missouri, assumed command, and was engaged about one hour, 
when he fell back to Rhea Field, where he was met by Colonel Peabody 
and the remainder of the brigade. Peabody held the Confederates in 
check until 8 a, m., when he fell back to his camp. Here he was 
attacked by the brigade of Shaver and the right of Wood's brigade. 
Peabody was killed and the brigade forced to abandon its camp at 9 a. 
m. The brigade organization was broken up, a part retiring through 
McClernand's lines and about 200 of the Twenty-first Missouri and 100 
of the Twelfth Michigan joining Prentiss at his third position, where 
they were surrounded and most of them captured at 5.30 p. m. Sunday 
afternoon. 

Second Br igt ide. 
(Miller's.) 

This brigade had three regiments in camp — a fourth assigned and 
reported but not yet in camp. The regiments were encamped between 
the Eastern Corinth road and Locust Grove in the following order from 
left to right: Eighteenth Wisconsin, Sixty-first Illinois, Eighteenth 
Missouri. The Sixteenth Iowa arrived at the Landing on Saturday, 
April 5, 1862. The colonel reported for duty and handed in his morn- 
ing report, so that his regiment is included in Miller's report of present 
for duty. Not being fully equipped, the regiment did not go to camp, 
but remained at Landing; on Sunday it, with Fifteenth Iowa, was, by 
order of General Grant, held for a time near the Landing to stop strag- 
glers, and then sent to reinforce McClernand at his fourth line, where 
they were engaged and lost heavily. 

The Eighteenth Wisconsin arrived on the field on Saturday after- 
noon and went at once into camp, but did not get into the morning 
report of that day and are not included in Miller's present for duty. 
The brigade was formed for battle Sunday morning at (! o'clock 300 
yards in front of its camp, at south side of Spain Field, where it was 
attacked by Gladden and Chalmers at 8 a. m. and was driven back into 
camp, and at 9 a. m. was compelled to abandon its camp. Parts of the 
Eighteenth Wisconsin and Eighteenth Missouri, about 300 men, formed 
with Prentiss at his third position and remained with him until cap- 
tured at 5.30 p. m. The Sixty-first Illinois passed beyond or through 
Hurlbut's line and was in reserve behind that division all day Sunday, 
except about an hour when it relieved another regiment in front line. 

UNASSIGNED. 

The Fifteenth Michigan arrived at Pittsburg Landing April 6, 1862. 
Arms had been issued to the men, but no ammunition had been sup- 
plied. The regiment moved out upon the field early Sunday morning 
and formed line and stacked knapsacks, at the left of the Eighteenth 
Wisconsin in Locust Grove, just as Chalmers appeared in front and 
moved to the attack. Failing to obtain ammunition, Colonel Oliver 



61 

ordered his men to fix bayonets, as if to charge the approaching Con- 
federates, but reconsidered and about faced his men and returned to 
the Landing, where he obtained ammunition and again joined the 
fighting line at some place not now determined. On Monday morning 
the regiment joined Rousseau's brigade of the Army of the Ohio and 
fought with conspicuous gallantry all day. 

The Fourteenth Wisconsin arrived upon the field Sunday night, and 
on Monday joined Smith's brigade of the Army of the Ohio and served 
with it all day. It assisted in the capture of a battery, one gun of 
which was awarded to this regiment and sent to the State of Wisconsin. 

Silfversparre's battery (H), First Illinois, arrived upon the field 
Sunday, April 6. Its guns were four 20-pounder Parrotts. Horses 
had not been supplied. The men got the guns up the bank and placed 
them in battery in front of the Log House, where they were engaged 
Sunday evening. 

Bouton's battery (1), First Illinois, arrived at Pittsburg Sunday 
morning fully equipped, but without drill, and with horses that had 
never been harnessed to a gun. The battery was taken ashore and 
reported to Sherman, and rendered good service in repelling last attack 
upon his line at 4.30 p. m. It remained with Sherman on Monday all 
day, and received special mention by Colonel Gibson of the Army of 
the Ohio. 

Siege guns. — Battery B, Second Illinois. The guns belonging to 
this battery were, under the direction of Colonel Webster, gotten 
ashore Sunday afternoon and placed in position one-fourth of a mile 
west of the Log House, where they formed a rallying point for all 
troops coming back from the front. 

Powell's battery (F), Second Illinois, was encamped near the landing 
awaiting an assignment which Captain Powell understood would place 
him in McClernand\s division. After waiting some time on Sunday 
morning for orders, Powell attempted to take his battery to McCler- 
nand. He moved out along the Corinth road, passing through 
Sweeny's troops at east side of Duncan field and arriving near the 
Duncan House, after Hare's brigade had fallen back, found himself, 
suddenly, in close proximity to the Confederate line of battle. In 
retiring one gun was upset and left just behind the Duncan Field. 
With five guns Powell reported to W. H. L. Wallace near the left of 
his line, where he was engaged until about 5 o'clock, when Captain 
Powell was wounded and his battery retired to its camp, where it was 
engaged at 6 p. m. in the final action of Sunday. 

Margraf's, Eighth, Ohio Battery arrived at the Landing the last of 
March. By an order issued April 2 it had been assigned to the Third 
Division, but had not reported to that division. The only official 
report of its action is given in the report of the First Minnesota, which 
sa}^s that the ""Eighth Ohio was on its left in the action of 6 p. m., 
Sunday, at the mouth of Dill Branch." 

ARMY OF THE OHIO. 

Soon after the consolidation of the Departments of the Ohio and 
Missouri, General Halleck ordered General Buell to move his army 
from Nashville to Savannah, Tenn.,and form junction with the Army 
of the Tennessee. Upon General Buell's suggestion to march his 
army across the country rather than transfer it by boats, it was so 



62 

ordered, and General Bucll with the advance of his army reached 
Savannah, Tenn., April 5, 1862. Early Sunday, April 6, General 
Grant informed General Buell by note" of the situation at Shiloh and 
ordered General Nelson 6 to inarch his division up (he east side of the 
Tennessee to a point opposite Pittsburg Landing, where boats would 
be found to ferry him across the river. ( reneral Buell and staff reached 
Pittsburg Landing by boat between 2 and 3 o'clock. Ammen's bri 
gade, the advance of Nelson's division, arrived upon the Held at about 
5.30 p. in., a part of it engaging in the repulse of the Confederates in 
the last attack of Sunday. During the night the remainder of Nel- 
son's division and Crittenden's division arrived on the field, and early 
Monday morning two brigades of MwCook's division reached the 
Landing. 

In the action of the 7th the Army of the Ohio occupied the left of 
the Union line, extending in a semicircle from the Tennessee River, 
south of Dill Branch, to north side of the Corinth road 1 mile from 
the Landing, Nelson's division on the left, Crittenden in the center, 
McCook on the right. "The enemy on a line slightly oblique to 
ours and beyond open fields with a battery in front of Nelson's left, a 
battery in front of Crittenden's left, a battery in front of Crittenden's 
right and McCook's left and another battery in front of McCook's 
right. A short distance in rear of the enemy's left were the encamp- 
ments of McClernand's and Sherman's divisions, which the enemy 
held. While troops were getting into position, Mendenhall's battery 
engaged the enemy's second battery with some effect. Bartlett's bat- 
tery engaged the encn^'s third battery." c 

The divisions of the Army of the Ohio moved forward preserving 
their relative positions in line and became engaged about 8 a. m. 
They advanced slowly until about 2 p. m.,when Wood's division 
arrived just as the final retreat of the Confederates began. In the 
forward movement McCook's division kept the main Corinth road, 
Crittenden's division about the direction of the eastern Corinth road. 
This separated these divisions so that at about 11 a. m. Veatch and 
Tuttle, from the Army of the Tennessee, were moved into the interval 
between McCook and Crittenden and became engaged in the Review 
field. At 4 p. m. the Confederates had retired from the field, and the 
Army of the Ohio bivouacked on a line extending from Stuart's camps 
through Prentiss's camps to near Shiloh Church. 

Ten-ill's battery (H), Fifth United States, belonging to McCook's 
division, was detached for service with Nelson and was in action on 
Hamburg road and at the Peach Orchard. 

FOURTH DIVISION. 

(Nelson's.) 

The head of this division arrived opposite to Pittsburg Landing 
about 5 p. m., April 6, 1862. One brigade, Ammen's, crossed the 
river and parts of the Thirty-sixth Indiana and Sixth Ohio were engaged 
in the closing action of Sunday. At 9 p. m. the entire division had 
crossed the Tennessee River and formed along the north side of 
Dill Branch, where it bivouacked Sunday night with pickets across the 
branch. At 5.30 a. m. on the 7th the division advanced and at 7 a. m. 
formed on south side of the branch and awaited the completion of the

63 

line. At 8 a. m. it attacked the Confederates in the Peach Orchard. 
Mendenhall's battery with the right and Ten-ill's battery with the left. 
The division gained the south side of the Peach Orchard at 2 p. m., 
the Confederates retiring. This closed the conflict on the left. The 
division remained in line until night and bivouacked with its left in 
Stuart's camps, its right near Prentiss's headquarters. 

Tenth Br! gade. 

(Ammen's. ) 

This brigade, composed of the Thirty-sixth Indiana and the Sixth 
and Twenty-fourth Ohio, crossed the Tennessee River at 5.30 p. m., 
Sunday, April 6, 1802. Eight companies of the Thirty-sixth Indiana 
and four companies of the Sixth Ohio were formed one-quarter of a 
mile in front of the Log House in support of Stone's battery, "the 
left in a ravine parallel with the Tennessee River and having water in 
it." These companies participated in the final repulse of the Confed- 
erates Sunday night. The Twenty-fourth Ohio was sent one-half mile 
to the right, but did not become engaged. After the repulse of the 
enemy the brigade formed 300 yards in advance on the crest of the 
bluffs of Dill Branch, where it bivouacked Sunday night. On Monday 
it formed line of battle w T ith the Thirty-sixth Indiana on the left, the 
Sixth Ohio on the right, and the Twenty-fourth Ohio in reserve, and 
at 5.30 a. m. crossed the ravine and at 8 a. m., became engaged on 
the extreme left of the Union line, near Tennessee River. At about 
11 a. m. Ammen's advance was checked by an attempt of Confederates 
to turn his left. He was reinforced by Second Iowa and another regi- 
ment and repulsed the attack. He reached Stuart's camp at about 1 
p. m., but was driven back. At 2 p. m. this camp was again taken, 
the Confederates retiring from this part of the field. 

Nineteenth Brigade. 

(Hazen's. ) 

This brigade reached the battlefield at 9 p. m., April 6, 1862, and 
bivouacked, on the right of the division, south of the siege-gun bat- 
tery, in the following order: Ninth Indiana on the left, Sixth Ken- 
tucky on the right, and the Forty-first Ohio in reserve. The brigade 
advanced at 5.30 a. m., April 7, and became engaged about 8 a. m. at 
Wicker Field. The Ninth Indiana lost heavity at the house on the 
north side of the Peach Orchard. The brigade then advanced to the 
Wheat Field, where a battery was captured and its guns spiked by the 
Forty-first Ohio. This advanced position was held only a few minutes, 
the brigade falling back somewhat disorganized to Wicker Field, from 
which it advanced at 2 p. m. across the west side of Peach Orchard 
and took position near Prentiss's headquarters. It was not again 
engaged, and bivouacked there Monday night.

FIFTH DIVISION. 

(Crittenden's.) 

This division, consisting of the Eleventh and Fourteenth Brigades 
and Mendenhall's and Bartlett's batteries, came from Savannah on 
boats, arriving at Pittsburg Landing during the night of Sunday, April 
6, 1862, and bivouacked along the Corinth road in the rear of Nelson's 
division. Early Monday morning it moved out and formed line in 
front of the camps of the Thirty-second and Forty-tirst Illinois, joining 
Nelson's right, the Fourteenth Brigade in front line, the Eleventh 
Brigade in reserve. At about 8 a. m. the division advanced and soon 
after became engaged at the position held by Prentiss and Tuttle on 
Sunday. Bartlett's battery on the right near the fork of the Eastern 
Corinth road was engaged until 12 noon, when it retired to the Land- 
ing for ammunition. MendenhalFs battery was engaged on Nelson's 
right until after noon, when it took position in rear of the Fifth Divi- 
sion and was there engaged until the close of action. 

The division was engaged along the Eastern Corinth road and east 
of Duncan Field about four hours, in which time both brigades and all 
its regiments were repeadedty engaged. It advanced, capturing some 
guns; was repulsed and driven back to the road several times. At

The brigade advanced, with its right on Eastern Corinth road, and 
became engaged along the sunken road, where Tuttle and Prentiss 
fought on Sunday. It advanced through the thick brush and assisted 
in the capture of a battery in the Wheat Field, but was obliged to 
abandon it and return to old road. In the final action about 2 p. m. 
it captured some guns of another battery, which were successfully 
held as trophies by the brigade. 

SECOND DIVISION. 

(McCook's.) 

The advance of this division, Rousseau's brigade, reached Pittsburg 
Landing Monday morning, April 7, 1862, and took its place in line of 
battle at S a. m. on Crittenden's right. Kirk's brigade formed in 
rear of Rousseau. These brigades were joined by Gibson's about

Its commander, Major Levanway, was killed, and Colonel Kirk, com- 
manding the brigade, was wounded. The engagement here was the 
last effort of the Confederates to hold their line, and closed the right- 
ing for the day. 

Sixth Brigade. 

1 1 ribson's.) 

This brigade arrived upon the field about noon and joined its division 
at Woolf Field, and was at once ordered into line on Kirk's left, where 
it became engaged at once. The Thirty-second Indiana was detached

The division bivouacked in rear of the right of Prentiss's division 
camps. 

THE ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI (CONFEDERATE). 

This army assembled near Corinth, Miss. It was organized into 
four army corps and commenced its movements toward Pittsburg 
April 3, 1862, under General Order No. 8, which directed the Third 
Corps, Major General Hardee, to move from Corinth by Ridge road 
to near Mickey's, at the intersection of the Ridge road with road from 
Monterey to Savannah; the Second Corps, Major General Bragg, to 
assemble at Monterey and move thence to the Ridge road near Mick- 
ey's, in two columns, the left wing by the Purdy and the right wing- 
by the Savannah road, falling in behind Hardee's corps; the First 
Corps, Major General Polk, to assemble at Mickey's, taking the road 
behind Bragg's corps; Ruggles's division coming from Corinth by the 
Ridge road; Cheatham's division from Bethel and Purdy; the Reserve 
Corps, Brigadier General Breckinridge, to assemble at Monterey, from 
Burnsville, and follow Bragg's corps to Mickey's and fall in behind 
Polk's corps; the cavalry to deploy on the flanks guarding Lick Creek 
fords on the right and the road to Stantonville on the left. 

The order contemplated an attack upon the Union camps near Pitts- 
burg Landing at sunrise Saturday morning, April 5, but on account 
of bad roads and other delays the several corps were not in position 
assigned them until nearly dark on Saturday, and the attack was 
deferred until Sunda}^ morning, April 6. The army bivouacked Sat- 
urday night in order of battle, the Third Corps in the front line across 
the Pittsburg Landing road one-half mile in advance of the forks of 
the Bark road; the Second Corps 800 yards in rear of the first line; 
the First Corps in column of brigades in rear of the second line; the 
Reserve Corps 1 mile in rear on the road to Mickey's."

General Johnston established his headquarters at the forks of the 
old Bark and Pittsburg roads. 

The forward movement to the attack commenced at about sunrise 
Sunday morning-, April 6, General Johnston in person accompanying 
the right, Gladden's and Shaver's brigades," until the first' camp was 
attacked. He then rode to the left, where Cleburne's brigade was 
advancing to the attack/' and from there conducted Stewart's brigade 
to the right. He then, from the camp of the Eighteenth Wisconsin, 
directed the movements of Chalmers's and Jackson's brigades b to the 
right, while Hardee, who was with him here, c was directing Shaver, 
Wood, and Stewart to the left. General Johnston then ordered the 
reserve corps forward, and at 12.30 was placing these troops in position 
south of the Peach Orchard, he and his staff occupying for over an 
hour a position due south of the center of the Peach Orchard, on the 
left bank of Locust Grove Creek. a From this point he went forward 
behind Bowen's brigade, and was killed near the southeast corner of 
the Peach Orchard at 2.30 p. m. His body was carried to Corinth that 
afternoon and was buried at New Orleans, La. 

Gen. G. T. Beauregard, second in command, and commanding the 
army after 2. 3D p. m., had his headquarters Saturday night at the pres- 
ent forks of Bark and Pittsburg roads/ At 10 a. m. Sunday morning 
the general and his staff moved forward to within one-half mile of the 
camps (near Plum Orchard Hospital, according to Captain Irwin). 
About noon he moved up to the Rhea House and at 2 p. m. forward 
to the crossroads near Water Oaks Pond. Here he received informa- 
tion of the death of General Johnston and assumed command of the 
army. At night his headquarters was established at General Sherman's 
tent, near Shiloh Church. From this point he directed the battle on 
Monday. When he directed the army to retire he personally placed 
a brigade and several pieces of artillery in position on the first ridge 
south of Shiloh Branch; a battery at Wood's house and Breckinridge's 
corps on the high ground near Bark Road, and then with his staff 
retired to Corinth via Monterey. 

THIRD CORPS. 

(Hardee's. ) 

This corps, consisting of three brigades, formed the first line of 
battle just behind Wood's field and cotton press. The three brigades 
not tilling all the space desired, Gladden's brigade from Bragg's corps 
was added to the right and placed under Hardee's orders. The corps 
in line of battle had its center on, and perpendicular to, the Pittsburg 
road, its left near Owl Creek, its right across the Bark road, in the fol- 
lowing order of brigades from left to right: Cleburne's Second Bri- 
gade, Wood's Third Brigade, Shaver's First Brigade, and Gladden's 
brigade. Gen. T. C. Hindman was intrusted with the command of his 
own and Wood's brigade, and is, in a few cases, referred to as com- 
manding a division. He remained with his old brigade — the First — 
and does not appear to have given any orders to Wood, and is, in 
nearly every case, referred to as commanding a brigade. He was dis-

abled about 11 a. m. on the 6th, near the northeast corner of the Review 
field. The Third Corps in its advance from Mickey's had a skirmish 
on Friday in which a few prisoners were taken on both sides; another 
engagement with a picket post near Howell's on Saturday, and on Sun- 
day morning the picket of this corps, under Major I Iardcastle, stationed 
at the corner of Fraley's and Wood's fields, was attacked at 4.55 a. m. 
by a reconnoitering party sent out by General Prentiss. This affair 
between pickets lasted over an hour, the corps in the meantime getting 
into line and advancing, driving back the reconnoitering party, and fol- 
lowing - it to the first lino of camps, where the battle became general. 

General Hardee in person moved with the right of his line, where 
General Johnston was directing the battle, until the first camps were 
passed, when Hardee, after consulting with Johnston at the cam]) of 
the Eighteenth Wisconsin, went to the left" and took general direction 
of the left flank of the army the remainder of the day. 

On Monday he was in command on the extreme right of the line.'' 
His corps remained intact until about 9 a. m. of the 6th, when his 
troops intermingled with other troops. With the possible exception of 
two or three regiments of Cleburne's brigade, none of his corps were 
under his command on Sunday after he moved to the left. Neither of 
his brigade organizations were under his command on Monday". Under 
General Beauregard's orders, Hardee commenced the withdrawal of 
his troops at 1 p. m. Monday. 

Third Brigade. 

(Wood's.) 

This brigade consisted of live regiments and two battalions of infan- 
try, one battery of artillery, and one company of cavalry. It occupied 
the center of Hardee's line of battle Saturday night, its right on the 
Corinth and Pittsburg road, in the following order from left to right: 
Twenty-seventh Tennessee, Sixteenth Alabama, Forty-fourth Tennes- 
see, Ninth Arkansas. Eighth Arkansas, Fifty-fifth Tennessee; the Third 
Mississippi on picket, and Harper's (Mississippi) battery in rear of the 
infantry. Major Hardcastle with the Third Mississippi, on picket at 
the corner of two fields one-fourth mile in advance of the main line, 
was attacked at 4.55 Sunda} r morning by a reconnoitering party sent 
out by General Prentiss. Hardcastle fought the party until 6.30, c 
when the brigade advanced to his support and following the reconnoi- 
tering party moved directly forward to the attack of the Union camps, 
which it reached at 9 a. m. d In this movement Wood's brigade was 
guide for first line/ The left of Wood's brigade struck the front of 
the Fifty-third Ohio camp, its right extending into the camps of 
Peabody's brigade. The left wing, Twenty-seventh Tennessee, by a 
movement to the right, avoided the camp of the Fifty third Ohio, 
which was being swept by the fire of Waterhouse's battery, while the 
right passed directly through a part of Peabody's camp, pressing the 
Union forces back until Wood's left had passed Waterhouse's battery 
and become exposed to a left flank and rear fire/ and the right had 
reached a field in the rear of Peabody's camp. Here the brigade 
wheeled to the left and attacked the second line of camps to the rear

of the battery a (Raith's brigade camps). After making left wheel and 
adjusting his line by bringing the Ninth and Eighth Arkansas to the 
left flank — making his line from left to right Ninth Arkansas, Eighth 
Arkansas, Twenty-seventh Tennessee, Sixteenth Alabama, Forty- 
fourth Tennessee, Fifty-fifth Tennessee, and Third Mississippi — 
Wood moved directly forward, doubling up the left of Raith's bri- 
gade and attacking McClernand's Second Brigade on the Corinth road, 
where he captured Burro ws's battery. In this attack General Wood 
was thrown from his horse and disabled so that he left the field until 
2.30 p. m. The brigade was disorganized and did not again act to- 
gether during the day. The Twenty-seventh Tennessee rested from 
10.50 until 3 p. m., then joined Wood when he resumed command. 
The Sixteenth Alabama and the Fifty-fifth Tennessee joined Shaver's 
brigade in its movement to the right under General Stewart 6 and then, 
with the Third Mississippi, went to the rear with the prisoners, 6 re- 
turning to the field Monday morning. 

The Forty-fourth Tennessee became separated from the brigade 
during the charge and fought to the right of Shaver's brigade in Hor- 
nets' Nest. d It joined Wood again at 3 o'clock. The Eighth Arkansas 
and the Ninth Arkansas rested an hour, then after 12 m. joined Cle- 
burne's and Shaver's forces in an attack at Duncan House/ and at 3 
o'clock joined General Wood. The Third Mississippi joined Colonel 
Vaughan but was not engaged; it joined the Sixteenth Alabama and 
Fifty-fifth Tennessee as guard for the prisoners, and returned to the 
field on Monday. Harper's battery became detached Sunday morning 
and was engaged with Shaver's brigade, and in the afternoon with 
General Cheatham at Peach Orchard. Avery's Georgia Dragoons 
went to the right as guard at Greer's Ford. 

At 2.30 p. m. on Sunday General Wood resumed command and 
brought together four regiments, the Twenty-seventh Tennessee, 
Eighth Arkansas, Ninth Arkansas, and the Forty-fourth Tennessee, 
and reported to General Ruggles west of Duncan House. At 1 o'clock 
he was sent with General Anderson to the right to attack the Union 
force at Hornets' Nest. He did not become engaged but followed the 
retiring troops of Tuttle's brigade, and after the surrender moved 
toward the front and center near the present schoolhouse. At sunset^ - 
he moved back to one of the encampments in the rear. 

Monday morning he formed the remnant of the four regiments, not 
over 650 rnen/ and went into action on south end of Jones Field. At 
11 a. m. he fell back to Shiloh Church, and soon after moved to the 
right and made a charge at the Water Oaks Pond, where he engaged 
McCook's division and the left of Sherman's command. He then 
retired to high ground south of Shiloh Branch. Harper's battery was 
on the right Monday. The Third Mississippi joined Wood on Monday 
near Shiloh Church.

Third Confederate, Swett's (Mississippi) battery in the rear. The 
Fifth Arkansas and Miller's (Tennessee) battery arc included with this 
brigade in "Organization of the army," but are not again mentioned 
in reports. 

The brigade moved forward at 6.30 a. m. Sunday meeting with littl« 
resistance until within one-half mile of the Union camps. Here 
Swett's and Harper's" batteries took position on the right near East- 
ern Corinth road and engaged the Union batteries (Hickenlooper's and 
Munch's). A charge was ordered and Peabody's camp was captured 
and his men pursued to a ravine and to an old field (Barnes's). The 
Third Confederate continuing the pursuit beyond the ravine became 
detached from its brigade and was engaged at Hornets' Nest soon after 
9 a. m. Colonel Shaver reorganized his command and was ordered to 
make change of front to the left, in conjunction with Wood's left 
wheel, to attack a camp (Raith's). Before completing the movement 
he was ordered to reform and move by left flank one-half mile" to an 
old farm, from which he attacked the enemy (Hare's brigade) behind a 
large field. The left regiments passed through this field, driving back 
Hare's brigade and occupying the ground one and one-half b hours. 
The right of the brigade passed to the right of the Review field and 
became engaged with Sweeny's and Tuttle's brigades and was exposed 
to a heavy cross tire from the Union batteries in the rear of Tuttle. 
Swett's battery took position on Shaver's right and engaged those 
batteries. General Hindman was disabled by the fall of his horse and 
General Stewart took command of Hindman's troops, consisting of 
Shaver's brigade and the Sixteenth Alabama and Fifty-fifth Tennessee 
of Wood's brigade, and placing the Fourth Tennessee on the left of 
Shaver moved directly cast from the. northwest corner of Review field 
to Duncan House and attacked the troops behind Duncan Field. 
Stewart was repulsed, and Shaver's brigade retired about 1 mile to a 
camp to replenish ammunition. Between 2 and 3 o'clock Shaver's 
brigade made another attack at the Hornets' Nest and was again 
repulsed. In this charge Lieutenant Colonel Dean, Seventh Arkansas, 
was killed within 50 paces of the front of the Fourteenth Iowa. The 
brigade then fell back and was not again engaged on Sunday. It 
retired a little farther to the rear and bivouacked for the night, On 
Monday the brigade formed on the Bark road. After some time the 
Second and Sixth Arkansas advanced to the left with General Cheatham, 
where an attack was made about 12 m. and some guns captured, but 
were soon retaken, and the Confederates driven back in disorder. In 
attempting to rally his force Colonel Shaver was rendered senseless 
by the explosion of a shell near him, and his command disorganized. 
The Seventh Arkansas was in support of a battery on Monday and 
later in the day became engaged on the right, The Third Confederate 
was detached to the right on Monday. Swett's (Mississippi) battery, 
after its participation in the attack at Hornets' Nest on Sunday, was 
placed by General Ruggles in line of batteries on the east side of 
Review field, where it was supported by the One hundred and fifty- 
fourth Tennessee. No record of Swett's battery in engagement on 
Monda} 7 .

Second Brigadt . 

(Cleburne's.) 

This brigade formed the left of Hardee's line, in the following - order 
from left to right: Second Tennessee (Bate), Twenty-fourth Tennessee, 
Fifth Tennessee (Hill), Sixth Mississippi, Twenty-third Tennessee, the 
Fifteenth Arkansas in advance as pickets and skirmishers, Shoup's 
battalion of artillery, consisting of Calvert's, Trigg's, and Hubbard's 
Arkansas batteries, in rear of the infantry. The left of the brigade 
was near Widow Howell's. The advance was begun at 6.30 a. m., 
Sunday, and at about 8 a. m. the brigade became engaged along Shiloh 
Branch, its batteries on high ground in the rear. Its progress was 
impeded by the marshy ground and briers of the branch. After pass- 
ing these obstructions, the right — Sixth Mississippi and the Twenty- 
third Tennessee — charged through the camp of the Fifty-third Ohio, 
but were repulsed by the fire of Waterhouse's battery and the infantry 
of Raith's and Hildebrand's brigades. The Twenty-third Tennessee 
was rallied with difficulty, but the Sixth Mississippi renewed the attack 
with vigor, and charged again and again, until it lost 300 men out of 425 
engaged. The left of the brigade met a like defeat in attempting to 
charge the position of Buckland's brigade and Barrett's battery, and 
was unable to advance until reinforced by Anderson's brigade from 
Bragg's corps," and by Russell's and Johnson's brigades from Polk's 
corps. With these reinforcements Cleburne rallied 60 men of the 
Sixth Mississippi and about half of the Twenty-Third Tennessee and, 
in conjunction with troops from the other brigades, advanced along 
the Pittsburg Landing road to the point where Burrows's battery was 
captured, where he was joined by the Eighth Arkansas. With the 
fragments of these three regiments, Cleburne joined General Stewart 
at 12, noon, in an attack upon position at Duncan House, where some 
of Cleburne's men were taken prisoners by the Seventh Illinois. At 
12.30 p. m. , the Sixth Mississippi retired from the held, and the Twenty- 
third Tennessee was ordered to the rear to reorganize. Cleburne then 
went in search of the other regiments of his brigade and, at 3 p. m., 
found the Fifth and Twenty-fourth Tennessee and Fifteenth Arkansas 
resting under the brow of a hill, where they were soon joined by 
the Twenty-third Tennessee. The Fifth Tennessee, Twenty-fourth 
Tennessee, and Fifteenth Arkansas had advanced through Buckland's 
camp at about 10 a. m., and had joined Pond and Trabue, 6 and with 
them were engaged at 12 m. to 2.30 p. m. in front of Marsh's brigade 
camp, and had passed to rear of that camp when found by Cleburne. 
Colonel Bate, of the Second Tennessee, was wounded in front of Buck- 
land's brigade, and the regiment was somewhat disorganized and was 
not again engaged on Sunday. On Monday, the Second Tennessee 
was engaged on the right under General Stewart. When Cleburne 
joined his left wing at 3 p. m. on Sunday, he advanced to the east side 
of Tilghman Creek, where he was engaged at 1.30 p. m. in the attack 
upon McClernand's sixth line. He then moved forward until he came 
under fire of the artillery and gunboats, where he halted until dark, 
when he was ordered to the rear and retired to a camp near the Baik

road. On Monday, soon after daylight, ho advanced along the Bark 
road with four regiments (Fifth, Twenty -third, and Twenty-fourth 
Tennessee, and the Fifteenth Arkansas), now reduced to 800 men, and 
became engaged in a thick underbrush at the left of General Breckin- 
ridge and the right of General Wood, where his brigade was repulsed 
and completely routed. The Fifteenth Arkansas was the only regi- 
ment rallied. This continued in the tight until reduced to 58 men. 
These were then ordered to the rear to replenish ammunition. 

Shoup's batteries were in position Sunday morning on high ground 
south of Shiloh Branch. Trigg's and Hubbard's batteries formed a 
part of Ruggles's line at 4 p. m. Sunday. No information in regard to 
these batteries on Monday. 

SECOND CORPS. 

( Bragg' s.) 

This corps of two divisions formed the second line of battle and 
formed Saturday night, April 5, 1862, 800 yards in rear of the first 
line across, and perpendicular to, the Pittsburg road; Gladden's bri- 
gade of Withers's division forward on Hardee's right; Ruggles's divi- 
sion on the left, its right on the Bark road; Withers's division to right 
of the Bark road. The corps commenced its forward movement at 
about 0.30 a. m. on Sunday. Soon after, the left brigade, Pond's, was 
detached to the left, and Chalmers's brigade moved forward to the 
right of Gladden. The advance was continued in this order until 
Hardee's line became engaged, when Bragg, "finding the first line 
unequal to the work before it,'' moved his whole corps to its support. 
In this movement Ruggles's division intermingled with the first line, 
and the two corps were not again separated during the battle. With- 
ers on the right kept his Second and Third Brigades well in hand and 
leading them to the extreme right continued in command of them 
all day. 

General Bragg in person followed his right and was with Gladden's 
brigade when Prentiss's camp was captured." There were present at 
that time General Johnston, General Bragg, General Hardee, General 
Withers, General Hindman, and several brigade commanders." Gen- 
eral Bragg remained in this vicinity until 10.30 a. m. when he met 
General Polk at the left center, and by agreement with him returned 
to the right center, where he directed several charges at Hornets' Nest 
without success. Learning that General Johnston had been killed, 
General Bragg went to the right and assumed command of the forces 
there, consisting of Breckinridge's two brigades, Withers's two bri- 
gades, and one brigade of Cheatham's division. With this force he 
pressed the Union left along the Hamburg road until he reached the 
rear of Prentiss and Wallace and connected his troops with those of 
the extreme left. This surround compelled the surrender of Prentiss 
about the time the sun was disappearing/' Bragg re-formed his com- 
mands and was placing his troops in order for another advance when 
he received orders to withdraw his troops. Bragg remained with 
Beauregard near Shiloh Church Sunday night and Monday morning 
was sent to the Confederate left, where the troops of Pond, Wood, 
Cleburne, Cheatham, Gibson, Anderson, and Trabue were engaged, in

about the order named, from left to right. Under General Beaure- 
gard's orders he commenced to retire his troops at 2 p. m. 

i 

SECOND DIVISION. 

(Withers's. ) 

In this division were the brigades of Gladden, Jackson, and Chal- 
mers. It formed the right of Bragg's corps and formed in line Sat- 
urday night on the Bark road one-fourth mile east of the forks of 
Pittsburg Landing road. Gladden's brigade was sent forward to the 
first line, Jackson's brigade 300 yards directly in rear of Gladden, on 
right of Bark road, Chalmers's, on Jackson's right, extending the line 
to tributary of Lick Creek. 

In the advance Chalmers soon came up to Gladden's right and joined 
it in an attack upon Prentiss's camp. After capture of Prentiss's 
camp Withers was ordered, with Chalmers and Jackson, down the 
Bark road to Lick Creek to attack the Union left. He succeeded in 
driving Stuart back and following him, pressing back the Union left, 
reaching the rear of Prentiss and Wallace, and receiving the surrender 
of part of these troops. He then moved to the right along the ridge 
south of Dill Branch and formed in line, then advanced into the valley 
of Dill Branch, from which place he made the last attack Sun da}'. He 
then withdrew, his division becoming disorganized. Chalmers's bri- 
gade and one regiment of Jackson's brigade bivouacked in Stuart's 
camp; Withers personally in Prentiss' camp. On Monday the division 
had commenced to retire from the field and had marched i mile when 
it was recalled and engaged on the right until 2 p. m., when it retired 
to Mickeys. 

Firxt Brigade. 
(Gladden's.) 

This brigade was attached temporarily to Hardee's corps and took 
position Saturday night, April 5, at the right of the first line of battle, 
its left on the Bark road, in the following order, from left to right: 
Twenty-sixth Alabama, Twenty-fifth Alabama, Twenty-second Ala- 
bama. Twenty-first Alabama, First Louisiana, and Robertson's battery 
in rear of infantry. 

The brigade advanced at 6.30 a. m. Sunday along the line of Bark 
and Eastern Corinth roads until it became engaged, at 8.30 a. m., 
in front of Prentiss's camps. The Twenty-second Alabama formed 
across the Eastern Corinth road. The Twenty-sixth, crowded out of 
position on the left by Shaver's brigade, took position on the right. 
In this attack General Gladden was mortally wounded, and Colonel 
Adams assumed command and drove Prentiss back, and at 9 a. m. took 
possession of his camps and formed his brigade in a square at Prentiss's 
headquarters, where it remained inactive until about 2 o'clock. At 
2.30 Colonel Adams was wounded and Colonel Deas took command, 
and soon after led the brigade, except the Twenty-sixth Alabama, to 
the right and reported to General Breckinridge and becamed engaged 
in the last attack upon Prentiss. Here the Twenty-first and Twenty- 
fifth Alabama became separated from the brigade, and Colonel Deas 
formed the First Louisiana and Twenty-second Alabama (224 men) on 
the left of Jackson's brigade and remained in line until ordered back 



74 

to camp lor the night. The Twenty-sixth Alabama meantime made a 
charge across the west side of Peach Orchard, supported on Left by 

Forrest's cavalry in the woods. On Monday L50 men of the Twenty- 
sixth Alabama joined Chalmers in two engagements, and (hen left the 
field. The Twenty-first Alabama was in Colonel Moore's command on 
Monday," the First Louisiana and the Twenty-second Alabama with 
Ruggles on the left of the line, where they were engaged until reduced 
to 60 men. 6 Robertson's (Alabama) battery of 12-pounder Napoleons 
was first engaged on Eastern Corinth road in front of Prentiss's camp. 
After that, from a position in Prentiss's camp, it engaged the Union 
batteries in Peach Orchard and then reported to Ruggles, east of 
Review field. On Monday it was with the Confederate right. The 
Twenty-fifth Alabama joined a Missouri regiment on Monday c (First 
Missouri, Bowen's brigade). 

Second Brigade. 

(Chalmers's.) 

This brigade, called the ''Mississippi Brigade," formed the right of 
Bragg's line, its right resting on swamps of Lick Creek in the follow- 
ing order from left to right: Fifty-second Tennessee, Fifth Missis- 
sippi, Ninth Mississippi, Seventh Mississippi, Tenth Mississippi, with 
Gage's (Alabama) battery in the rear, it advanced at 6.30 a. m. Sun- 
day and soon joined Gladden's right and made a gradual left wheel 
until it struck the left of Prentiss's camp and by a charge of the Tenth 
Mississippi, followed by the Seventh and Ninth Mississippi, the Eight- 
eenth Wisconsin was driven from its camp at ( J a. m., the three regi- 
ments pursuing across the ravine and to the hill beyond, where they 
came under fire from Hurlbut's division in the Peach Orchard and 
were ordered by General Johnston back to the captured camp. From 
the Eighteenth Wisconsin camp the brigade was conducted '"by right 
flank file right" across the ravine and to the Bark road and along that 
road until its right rested on Lick Creek, where it re-formed its battle 
line facing north and advanced across Locust Grove Branch against 
Stuart's camps. When this advance began Union skirmishers fired 
into the Fifty-second Tennessee, stampeding the regiment so that only 
two companies could be rallied. These companies were attached to 
the Fifth Mississippi. As the infantry advanced Gage's battery, sta- 
tioned on high ground south of the ravine, shelled Stuart's camp, com- 
pelling him to move to his left rear, forming his left behind an orchard. 
Chalmers moved upon this position and drove Stuart back 300 yards 
to a ridge, where he maintained himself until about 2 p. m., when he 
retired, closely followed by Chalmers, who was supported on his right 
by Clanton's cavalry, moving down the banks of the Tennessee. 
Swinging to the left against the exposed Union left, Chalmers's left 
reached the Hamburg and Savannah road near the camp of the Twenty- 
eighth Illinois, where he assisted in the capture of the troops of Pren- 
tiss and Wallace that had faced to the rear and were attempting to 
make their way to the river. The Fourteenth Iowa, a captain and 
four men of the Twenty-eighth Illinois, and colonel of the Eight- 
eenth Missouri surrendered to the Ninth Mississippi. The brigade 
then moved directly east of the ridge south of Dill Branch until its

right was near the river; it then advanced into the valley of Dill 
Branch. Skirmishers of the Ninth Mississippi crossed the ravine and 
ascended to the brow of the bluff, where they came under tire of the 
artillery. "The brigade struggled in vain to ascend the hill, which was 
very steep, making charge after charge without success, but contin- 
ued to light until night closed hostilities on both sides."" Gage's bat- 
tery was put in position in rear of the brigade, but was soon disabled 
and was compelled to retire, leaving one gun in the ravine in front of 
its position. It was not again engaged. The brigade retired to Stu- 
art's camps, where it bivouacked Sunday night. On Monday it was 
joined by several detached regiments and was engaged on the Confed- 
erate right south of Peach Orchard until 2 p. m., when it received 
orders to retire. There are no reports on file from regiments or battery. 

Third Brigade. 

(Jackson's.) 

This brigade formed on the right of the Bark road in the second line, 
300 yards in the rear of Gladden's brigade, in the following order from 
left to right: Seventeenth Alabama, Eighteenth Alabama, Nineteenth 
Alabama. Second Texas, Girardey's battery in rear of infantry. It 
advanced at 6.30 a. in. Sunday, following Gladden's brigade, and came 
up with that brigade at Prentiss's headquarters, where General John- 
ston in person ordered the brigade to the left in conjunction with 
movements of Wood and Shaver. Before it had proceeded far, the 
order was changed, and Jackson was ordered to follow Chalmers to 
the right, where the brigade formed on the south side of a deep ravine. 
Girardey's battery engaged the enemy in Peach Orchard from Pren- 
tiss's <amp and then followed its brigade and took position at Shake- 
a-rag Church. The brigade advanced directly against the camps of 
the Fifty-fourth Ohio and Fifty-fifth Illinois, the right of the brigade 
joining Chalmers and passing through the farm houses at the left of 
the Fifty-fifth Illinois camp and engaging the Seventy-first Ohio, while 
the left of the brigade engaged McArthur's brigade in the ravine east 
of Peach Orchard. At about 1.30 p. m. Bowen's brigade joined Jack- 
son's left, and together they advanced, driving back the Union force 
and making the left wheel with Chalmers. Jackson reached the camp of 
the Twenty-eighth Illinois, in Chalmers's rear, and was present when 
prisoners were captured. The Eighteenth Alabama was detached 
to guard them to the rear. The other three regiments followed 
Chalmers to the right and took position in the valley of Dill Branch, 
where skirmishers went forward to top of bluff, where they came in 
range of artillery and "could not be urged farther." Finding an 
advance impracticable, an order was given to withdraw. In the dark- 
ness the brigade became separated, the Seventeenth Alabama return- 
ing to the camp of Saturday night, and was out of the fight on Monday. 
The Nineteenth Alabama and Second Texas bivouacked with Chalmers, 
and on Monday were with the Twenty-first Alabama, organized as a 
temporary brigade, and fought on Chalmers's left. In an advance 
across an open field this force received an unexpected fire, which broke 
its line and disorganized the command, the Nineteenth Alabama, under 
Colonel Wheeler, alone remaining on the field until a general retreat 

« Chalmers's report.

was ordered, when it formed a rear guard and remained at Mickey's 
several days. General Jackson, with the battery, bivouacked Sunday 
night at Shiloh Church. The battery was engaged with Cleburne on 
Monday and lost one gun and had its other guns disabled so that the 
cannoneers were detailed to another battery. General Jackson, unable 
to find his brigade on Monday, was not engaged. He reported at 
Corinth, Miss., at 11.30 p. m. Monday. 

FIRST DIVISION. 

(Ruggles's.) 

This division of three brigades formed the left of the second line 
of battle, its right, Gibson's brigade, on the Bark road; its left, Pond's 
brigade, extending to near Owl Creek; its center, Anderson's brigade, 
on Pittsburg road. 

Soon after the forward movement commenced, Sunday morning, 
two regiments from the left were detached to guard the left flank of 
the army, and Gibson's brigade was moved to the right to support 
Shaver's brigade. Anderson's and the right of Pond's brigade moved 
directly forward and became engaged in front of the first encampments 
of the enemy, where Anderson's and Cleburne's brigades commingled 
and were disorganized, a part of each following the Pittsburg road, 
under Ruggles's command, until they reached Duncan Field about 3 
p. m., when General Ruggles gave his personal attention to massing the 
artillery in front of the Hornets' Nest. Here he collected ten batteries 
and two sections and placed them along the road on the west side of 
Duncan Field and under their concentrated fire ordered Anderson and 
others to attack. This artillery fire drove away all the artillery from 
the Union lines at Hornets' Nest. 

On Monday Ruggles, with portions of his division, fought on the 
Confederate left until the troops were ordered to retire, when he took 
command of the second line of the rear guard. 

First Brigadt . 

(Gibson's.) 

This brigade bivouacked Saturday night, April 5, 1862, on the right 
of Ruggles's division, its right on the Bark road, in order of regiments, 
from left to right: Fourth Louisiana, Thirteenth Louisiana, First 
Arkansas, Nineteenth Louisiana. (The battery belonging to this 
brigade — Bain's — was detailed to remain at Corinth. Yet it is enu- 
merated in organization and referred to" — "we had our artillery at 
hand" — in such way that it may have been present.) The brigade 
followed Shaver's to the front of the first encampment, where, with its 
right in the woods and its left in the Rhea Field, it came under the 
fire of Waterhouse's battery, which was "on an eminence to the left 
and in the rear of the first line of camps." Passing through Peabody's 
camp it came up with Shaver's brigade and fired a few shots from the 
edge of Barnes Field at retreating Union troops and received a few 
shells from Munch's battery in reply. The brigade rested in Barnes 
Field until noon, when General Bragg found it "in rear of its proper 
place" and ordered it forward to an attack upon Tuttle and Prentiss 

"10 War Records, 382, 394, 486. 



77 

at Hornets' Nest. The right of the brigade, the Nineteenth Louisiana, 
moved half a mile to the right across the Hamburg road and into a 
little farm (wheat field) and attacked the enemy in a dense undergrowth. 
The left of the brigade, the Fourth Louisiana, came into Duncan 
Field. The brigade was repulsed, but under Bragg's orders charged 
again and again, until they had been four times beaten back. After 
the fourth repulse the brigade retired to Barnes Field and was not 
engaged again on Sunday. The Nineteenth Louisiana, becoming sep- 
arated from its brigade, bivouacked near Shiloh Church and on Monday 
joined the command of Marshall Smith on the right. The other regi- 
ments were on the left on Monday, next to Pond's brigade, where they 
charged the enemy and captured a part of a battery, but were unable 
to hold it. Pond was ordered to the right and Gibson held the ex- 
treme left" until ordered to retire. 

Second Brigade. 

(Anderson's.) 

This brigade occupied the center of Ruggles's division in the second 
line Saturday night, April 5, its right on the Pittsburg road, "in 
column doubled at half distance on the center," but with room to 
deploy, its order from left to right: Twentieth Louisiana, Ninth 
Texas, First Florida Battalion, Confederate Guards' Response Bat- 
talion, Seventeenth Louisiana, Hodgson's Washington Artillery in 
rear. In the advance on Sunday the brigade was deployed and fol- 
lowed Cleburne's brigade and came up with it at 8.30 a. m. at the 
crossing of Shiloh Branch. It must have occupied the same ground 
charged over by Cleburne, for, the Twentieth Louisiana — on the left of 
Anderson's brigade — connected with Pond's right when the Second 
Tennessee— the left of Cleburne's brigade — retired through the 
Twentieth Louisiana, 6 and the right of Anderson's brigade — the Sev- 
enteenth Louisiana — joined the Sixth Mississippi — Cleburne's right — 
and the Eleventh Louisiana, of Russell's brigade, in a charge into the 
camp of the Fifty-third Ohio and were repulsed by the fire of Water- 
house's battery and its infantry support. The Seventeenth Louisiana, 
of this brigade, made three separate charges upon the Fifty-third Ohio 
camp. In the second and third charges the left wing of the regiment 
passed to the left of the Rhea House around the point of the ridge. 
The Confederate Response and Florida battalions attempted — in con- 
junction with the Eleventh Louisiana, of Russell's brigade — to cross 
the ridge, but were repulsed. This position was finally carried by the 
combined attacks of the right regiments of the brigades of Cleburne, 
Anderson, and Johnson, and the left regiments of Russell's brigade. 
During the struggle the Washington Artillery, together with artillery 
of the other brigades, occupied the high ground in the rear and rendered 
valuable aid in the attack. The Twentieth Louisiana and Ninth Texas, 
on the left, were twice repulsed, but with reenforcements carried the 
position held by Buckland's brigade and joined the right regiments in 
an advance upon McClernand's second position at the crossroads, 
where the brigade was partially reorganized and was engaged in front 
of Marsh's brigade camp. About noon it joined Trabue in his engage- 
ment with McDowell's brigade. At 3 p. m. this brigade moved 

"10 War Records, 473. '>10 War Records, 471, 496, 497, 507, 585. 



78 

directly east along the Pittsburg' road to Duncan Field, where the 
battery was placed in Ruggles's artillery line and the infantry moved 
to the right, where it joined other troops in an attack at the Hornets 1 
Nest, where it was repulsed, and the Twentieth Louisiana retired 
from the field. The other regiments returned to the attack and 
followed the retiring Union troops to the place of surrender. The 
brigade then moved forward to a ravine — head of Dill Branch — where 
it remained fifteen minutes under artillery fire, and then, at sunset, 
retired, General Anderson, with the Ninth Texas and First Florida, 
bivouacking in the apple orchard, near the big spring. The other 
regiments were scattered, but were all represented with the brigade 
on Monday, and were engaged north of the Pittsburg road and later 
in front of Marsh's brigade camp. The Washington Artillery was 
engaged on Monday on the right, near the wheat field, where it lost 
three guns. The guns were recaptured, but it left three caissons 
and battery wagon and forge on the field. 

Third Brigade. 

(Pond's.) 

This brigade formed the left of Bragg' s line of battle Saturday night, 
its left near Owl Creek and extending beyond Hardee's left in the fol- 
lowing order from left to right: Thirty-eighth Tennessee, Crescent 
Regiment, Eighteenth Louisiana, Orleans Guard, Sixteenth Louisiana, 
with Ketchum's Alabama battery in rear. At 8 a. m. Sunda}^ the 
Thirty-eighth Tennessee, the Crescent Regiment, and one section of 
the battery were sent li miles to the left to Owl Creek road. The 
other regiments and two sections of the battery, connecting with the 
left of Anderson's brigade, advanced to Shiloh Branch, where they 
became engaged with the skirmishers of McDowell's brigade. Mc- 
Dowell was ordered to withdraw and Pond gained the first line of 
camps without a conflict. Changing direction to the right, Pond was 
fired into by the Confederates and retired 100 yards and rested until 
about noon when he joined the left of Trabue's brigade in Crescent 
Field. He then moved forward to the valley of Tilghman Creek, 
where at 1.30 p. m. he was ordered by General Hardee to charge the 
Union lines, which were in position in the camps of the Fourteenth 
and Fifteenth Illinois. He formed his regiments en echelon, the 
Eighteenth Louisiana in front on the left, followed by the Orleans 
Guard, and that by the Sixteenth Louisiana, and moved directly upon 
the Union line. He was repulsed with heavy loss and retired to high 
land on the west side of the creek, where he bivouacked Sunday night, 
with his right at Oglesby's headquarters, his left at Owl Creek. 

The Thirty-eighth Tennessee, the Crescent Regiment, and a section 
of Ketchum's battery, when detached in the morning, moved down Owl 
Creek road to the bridge on Purdy road, where they remained on guard 
until 2 p. m. when they were ordered to the center. They moved by 
the flank to cross-roads, where Beauregard ordered them to the east 
along Pittsburg road. At Duncan Field the section of artillery was 
placed on left of Ruggles's artillery line and the two regiments directed 
to the left, where they engaged the right flank of troops at the Hor- 
nets' Nest, Colonel Looney leading his regiment, the Thirty-eighth 
Tennessee, into the camp of the Third Iowa in time to assist in the cap- 
ture of the Twelfth Iowa, the Crescent Regiment capturing a part of 



79 

the Prentiss troops. The Thirty-eighth Tennessee then joined its 
brigade at Ogles by 's headquarters. The Crescent Regiment bivouacked 
in a "near-by camp."" 

On Monday the brigade, except the Crescent Regiment, was engaged 
upon the extreme left of the army, and opened the battle by an artil- 
lery duel between its battery and those of Lew. Wallace. The brigade 
was driven back gradually to the Purdy road, when it was sent to join 
Trabue's right. It soon returned to the left and then fell back to the 
church disorganized. Colonel Loone}\ with his own regiment and 
parts of live other regiments (numbers not known), made the last charge 
of the day, his command forming at the church under personal direc- 
tion of General Beauregard and charging forward directly over the site 
of Sherman's headquarters to near the Purdy and Hamburg road, then 
retiring through the rear guard stationed south of Shiloh Branch. The 
Crescent Regiment was sent Monday morning to the right, where it 
joined the Nineteenth Louisiana and First Missouri in support of the 
Washington Artillery," and then in conjunction with Colonel Wheeler 
covered the retreat from that part of the field and camped at night at 
Mickey's. Ketchum's battery was engaged with the brigade all day 
and lost two guns. 6 

FIRST CORPS. 

(Polk's.) 

This corps of two divisions of two brigades each formed Saturday 
night in column of brigades behind the second line, its center on the 
main Corinth road, the first division in front. 

In the advance Sunday morning the head of this corps passed 
Beauregard's headquarters, at the fork of the Bark and Pittsburg 
roads, at 7.04 a. m. At the Seay Field Stewart's brigade was detached 
to the right; Russell's brigade was led directly to the front and became 
engaged under the personal direction of division and corps commanders. 

General Clark, commanding the division, led in the charge upon the 
camp of the Fifty-third Ohio, and saon after passing that camp was 
wounded and left the field. General Stewart succeeded to the com- 
mand, but did not bring the division under his immediate orders. 

General Cheatham, commanding second division, sent his first bri- 
gade directly to the front, where it was engaged under Polk's orders. 
He then took personal direction of Stephens's brigade, conducting it 
first to the left, and then at 10.30 a. m. to the right center, where he 
was engaged at Hornets' Nest until about noon when he moved to 
the right and joined General Breckenridge and was engaged at Peach 
Orchard, and on Monday near the extreme left of the line. 

CAVALRY. 

The First Mississippi Cavalry operated as a reserve to Cheatham's 
division. At about 5.30 p. m. on Sunday, just after the surrender of 
Prentiss, it charged upon and captured Ross's battery as it was mak- 
ing its way to the river. It afterwards crossed the head of Dill Branch 
and started with 30 or 40 men to charge another battery, but finding 
itself in presence of the infantry, retired and proceeded to the bank of 
the Tennessee River at Brown's Ferry.

80 

Brewer's Ca/valry. 

Two companies were sent Sunday morning in the direction of Adams- 
villc to watch the movements of Lew. Wallace; other companies engaged 
in the rear of Russell's brigade until afternoon, when they were sent 
to the extreme left and were engaged against the Fourteenth Missouri 
and in Wharton's charge. They bivouacked Sunday night in the val- 
ley of Tilglnnan ('reek near Owl Creek. 

General Polk in person followed the line of the Pittsburg road. He 
assumed personal direction of the battle in front of Rhea House, direct- 
ing the two brigades of his own corps and one each of Hardee's and 
Bragg's corps, and when the line was finally carried he pushed his 
commands forward without waiting to reorganize them. He says his 
three brigades — Stewart's, Russell's, and Johnson's — with occasionally 
a regiment from some other corps, fought over the same ground three 
times. He was present at the surrender of Prentiss and directed some 
of the troops toward the Landing, and when ordered to withdraw 
retired to his bivouac of Saturday night. On Monday he commanded 
the left center again and fought over the same ground as on Sunday. 
This corps and its divisions were entirely disintegrated before reach- 
ing the first camps of the enemy and did not again serve in the battle 
as divisions or corps. 

FIRST DIVISION. 

First Brigade. 

(Russell's.) 

This brigade bivouacked Saturday night across the Pittsburg road 
behind Stewart's brigade, in order from left to right, as follows: 
Eleventh Louisiana, Twentj^-second Tennessee, Thirteenth Tennessee, 
Twelfth Tennessee, with Bankhead's (Tennessee) battery in the rear. 
In the advance on Sunday it followed the Pittsburg road to near Shiloh 
Branch, when it became engaged on the right of the road, its left, the 
Eleventh Louisiana, joining the Seventeenth Louisiana of Anderson's 
brigade" and the Sixth Mississippi of Cleburne's brigade in the attack 
upon the Fifty-third Ohio camp and the Union forces behind that camp. 
In this attack the Eleventh Louisiana was disorganized, a part of it 
afterwards joining Stewart's brigade 6 and a part continued under 
Russell for a time. The colonel and sixty men were engaged on the 
right on Monday. 

The Twelfth Tennessee passed to the right of the Fifty-third Ohio 
camp into the Fourth Illinois Cavalry camp, where it joined Stewart's 
brigade, and supported the Fourth Tennessee in a charge upon 
McAllister's battery, and afterwards supported Bankhead's battery on 
the ground first occupied by McAllister. The Thirteenth Tennessee 
also passed to the right of the Fifty-third Ohio camp, then left wheeled 
and charged Waterhouse's battery in the flank, capturing two guns. 
It then moved directly past Shiloh Church, and from there along Pitts- 
burg road to Duncan Field, where it supported Stanford's battery in 
Ruggles's artillery line. The Twenty-second Tennessee, remaining 
under Russell's command, moved through the camp and over the Water- 
house battery position to near the crossroads, where the Fifth Tennes-

81 

see, Lieutenant Colonel Venable, attached itself to Russell's command. 
Russell then joined Trabue's left in front of Marsh's brigade camp. 
He then, with the Twenty- second Tennessee, moved into the valley of 
Tilghman Creek and up that creek to the place where Prentiss surren- 
dered. Russell says that Prentiss surrendered to men of the Twenty- 
second Tennessee. * The Twelfth and Thirteenth joined Russell here, 
but no part of the brigade advanced beyond the place of surrender. 
The three regiments retired to Marsh's brigade camp and bivouacked 
Sunday night, On Monday the remnant of the three regiments, a ' 'very 
small force," was engaged on the left, next to Pond, for a time, and then 
fell back to Shiloh Church, where they came under the immediate com- 
mand of General Beauregard, who bore the colors to the front, but 
was soon obliged to retire. 

Bankhead's battery was engaged at the place occupied by McAllis- 
ter's battery, and in Ruggles's line on Sunday, and on the right, 
Monday. 

Second Brigade. 

(Stewart's.) 

This brigade formed the advance of its corps and bivouacked across 
the main Pittsburg road in the following order from left to right: 
Fifth Tennessee, Thirty-third Tennessee, Thirteenth Arkansas, Fourth 
Tennessee, with Stanford's battery in the rear. It moved forward at 
7 a. m. Sunday morning one-half mile and deposited knapsacks, then 
passed the cotton press and its left regiment — the Fifth Tennessee — 
came into Fraley Field, where it received a shot from a Union battery 
that killed one man and cut the flagstaff. From "two cabins" Gen- 
eral Johnston directed the brigade to the right, and conducted it 
toward the camp of the Eighteenth Wisconsin, where General John- 
ston went and met General Hardee/' General Stewart moved his 
brigade by the right flank due east, from north side of Seay Field, 
until his right reached the Eastern Corinth road, his command in 
"open woods" in front of the enemy's (Peabody's) camp, "from which 
he had been driven." Here losing sight of General Johnston, he 
moved his brigade by left flank in line of battle through the camp and 
be} T ond it/ Thence, cooperating with the left movement of Wood 
and Shaver, he moved " by the left flank," along the rear of Peabody's 
brigade camp, and behind Gibson's brigade, until the Thirteenth 
Arkansas was in the Fourth Illinois Cavalry camp, then by right flank 
in line of battle, and halted for orders. Here occurred the "fire in 
the rear," occasioned by the Fourth Louisiana, on Gibson's left, firing 
to their left rear upon an officer "supposed to be a Federal." This 
left rear fire took effect in the ranks of the Thirteenth Arkansas. 
This regiment, mistaking the fire of the Fourth Louisiana for that of 
the enemy, returned the fire, and were joined by the Thirty-third 
Tennessee firing into the Twelfth Tennessee just then passing their 
front, and into the Eighth and Ninth Arkansas just being transferred 
to Wood's left. 

From the Fourth Illinois Cavalry camp Stewart led his three left 
regiments north across a small stream and laid them down while he 
returned for the Fourth Tennessee, which he brought forward to the 
same place, but found that his three regiments had moved forward.

Here Stewart received orders to charge McAllister's battery at the 

northwest corner of Review field. He placed Stanford's battery in the 
Fourth Illinois Cavalry camp, and with the Fourth and Twelfth Ten- 
nessee behind it as a reserve, passed to the right behind Wood's 
brigade and joining Shaver's left charged the battery and captured one 
gun at 11 a. in., the Fourth and Twelfth Tennessee holding the ground 
where the batteiy had been stationed. Here General Hindman pro- 
posed to Stewart to join forces and attack the enemy on Shaver's right 
in Hornets' Nest. While arranging for this movement General Hind- 
man was disabled and General Stewart took command of Hindman's 
force. Placing the Fourth Tennessee on the left of Shaver's brigade, 
he moved through the woods to Duncan Field and engaged the Union 
force that occupied the east side of that field until Shaver reported his 
troops out of ammunition, when Stewart withdrew the Fourth Tennes- 
see to a position where it captured the gun and joined the Twelfth 
Tennessee, at about noon, in support of Bankhead's battery, which was 
being closeh 7 pressed by Union troops. The Fourth Tennessee then 
retired for ammunition. 

In the meantime the Fifth and Thirty -third Tennessee and the Thir- 
teenth Arkansas were by General Hardee's order moved forward from 
the ravine where Stewart left them and became engaged under Preston 
Smith's command near the crossroads. Later the Fifth Tennessee 
was attached to Russell's command farther to the left and then moved 
to the attack upon the right flank of the Hornets' Nest position. It 
then retired to a camp for the night. The Thirty-third Tennessee 
joined General Stewart again to the right of Ruggles's batteries and 
moved by the left flank along the road to the Forty -first Illinois camp, 
where it remained until night and then retired to a camp near the 
crossroads. The Thirteenth Arkansas, after its engagement at the 
crossroads, was in support of Smith's battery to the right, where 
Lieutenant Colonel Grayson was mortally wounded. It then retired 
to Beauregard's headquarters, and then to camp for the night near 
"Stewart's General Hospital." 

The Fourth Tennessee, after its separation from General Stewart, 
joined Preston Smith's command in Marsh's brigade cam}) and was 
engaged from about 1 to 2 p. m. It bivouacked Sunday night near 
where it captured the gun. 

General Stewart, after his own brigade had passed from his com- 
mand, organized a command, consisting of Walker's Second Tennessee, 
part of the Eleventh Louisiana, and another regiment of Cleburne's 
command, and made a second attack at Duncan House. Falling back, 
he was joined by the Thirty-third Tennessee and moved along Pitts- 
burg road and into the Hornets' Nest at the time of surrender. On 
Monday he had Bates's Second Tennessee and Thirteenth Arkansas 
under his command on the Confederate right. Colonel Strahl sa} T s 
the Fourth Tennessee was engaged on Monday "near the left of the 
line." He also says he was. "on the left of the Washington Artil- 
lery." Washington Artillery was on the right Monday. The Fifth 
Tennessee was with Chalmers on the extreme right; Thirty-third 
Tennessee on the left with General Cheatham. Stanford's battery, 
after its first engagement Sunday in the camp of the Fourth Illinois 
Cavalry, became engaged on the right of Ruggles's artillery line and 
on Monday near the same place. It lost four guns.

SECOND DIVISION. 

(Cheatham's.) 

This division of two brigades bivouacked Saturday night in the rear 
of the First Division, on the Pittsburg Landing road. Soon after the 
advance was begun on Sunday the Second Brigade was detached, under 
the command of General Cheatham, who directed its movements all 
day on Sunday. His personal movements are the same as the Second 
Brigade. Sunday night General Cheatham retired to his Saturday 
night bivouac. On Monday morning he was engaged for some time 
in arresting a stampede which came from the front. He then led the 
Sixth Tennessee, six companies of the Ninth Tennessee, the One hun- 
dred and fifty-fourth Tennessee, part of the Fifteenth Tennessee, and 
100 men of Walker's Second Tennessee to an open field near Shiloh 
Church, where he received orders to report to General Breckinridge. 
He moved half a mile to the right, then was ordered back and to the 
left. In this movement the One hundred and fifty-fourth Tennessee 
and Walker's Tennessee became detached and remained at the right. 
With parts of the One hundred and fifty-fourth, Ninth, and Fifteenth 
he moved northwest, passing near Shiloh Church; then to left of the 
Confederate line, where he was joined by Gibson's brigade and by the 
Twenty-seventh and Thirty-third Tennessee, and was engaged four 
hours. At 2.30 p. m. he was ordered to withdraw from the field. 

First Brigade. 
(B. R. Johnson's.) 

This brigade moved forward Sunday morning along Pittsburg road 
with its division until 8.30 a. m. , when it, in crossing Fraley Field, came 
under fire of the artilleiy. Here General Cheatham was detached with 
the Second Brigade, and Gen. B. R. Johnson led his brigade, first 
obliquely to the left, then by right flank until the center — left of 
Blythe's Mississippi — rested on the Pittsburg road, its regiments in 
order from left to right: Walker's Second Tennessee, Fifteenth Ten- 
nessee, Blythe's Mississippi, One hundred and fifty-fourth Tennessee, 
with Polk's Tennessee battery in the rear. 

At the crossing of Shiloh Branch Johnson came up with the brigades 
of Cleburne, Anderson, and Russell, which had commingled and were 
making ineffectual attempts to force the Union lines. General Polk 
at once assumed direction, and, without waiting to reorganize the shat- 
tered brigades, ordered the whole force forward without regard to 
corps, division, brigade, or even regimental organization. Blythe's 
Mississippi, with the Seventeenth Louisiana, moved around the point 
of the hill north of Rhea House and attacked Waterhouse's battery 
on its right flank. In this action Colonel Blythe was killed, his regi- 
ment halting in a ravine between the battery and Shiloh Church. The 
One hundred and fifty-fourth Tennessee, with other troops, charged 
directly through the camp of the Fifty-third Ohio, and attacked 
Waterhouse's battery in front just as the Thirteenth Tennessee reached 
its left flank. Both regiments claim the two guns captured here. 
Polk awards them to the Thirteenth Tennessee. The One hundred 
and fifty-fourth pressed forward up the ridge toward Woolf Field, 
capturing another gun of Waterhouse's battery and one gun of 



84 

Schwartz's battery, near the crossroads. Here the One hundred and 
fifty-fourth was joined by the three left regiments of Stewart's bri- 
gades and took position in Woolf Field, where they were engaged for 
a time, and were then driven back. 

General Johnson, who was engaged with his left regiments in the 
attack upon Barrett's battery and Buckland's brigade, after several 
repulses finally succeeded, in conjunction with other commands, in car- 
rying the position, but was wounded in the final assault near the church 
at 11 a. m., he says, and the command passed to Col. Preston Smith, 
of the One hundred and fifty-fourth Tennessee. During this conflict 
Polk's battery was stationed near the Rhea House, where Captain Polk 
was severely wounded and his battery disabled, so that only one gun 
went forward to the crossroads, where it was captured. At the cross- 
roads Colonel Smith learned of General Johnson's disability and took 
command of the brigade, which was now greatly reduced, the Fifteenth 
Tennessee having only 150 men, Blythe's Mississippi only 200. Smith 
formed his brigade "just beyond the crossroads, on the right of the 
broad avenue leading by the second encampment" (Marsh's). He had 
scarcely formed his line when the enemy advanced upon him through 
the woods from the north and made a fierce attack, which was kept up 
more than an hour, during which time Smith brought up the Fourth 
and Thirty-third Tennessee to reenf orce his line. He finally succeeded, 
at about 2 p. m., in driving back the enemy. He then moved along 
Pittsburg road to Duncan Field, where the One hundred and fifty-fourth 
Tennessee supported Swett's battery in Ruggles's line and the Second 
Tennessee (Walker's) supported the Thirty-eighth Tennessee. The 
Fifteenth Tennessee and Bfythe's Mississippi were sent for ammunition 
and did not return. None of this brigade advanced beyond the place 
of Prentiss's surrender. A part of the Second Tennessee bivouacked at 
the crossroads. Blythe's regiment near Shiloh Church, the other regi- 
ments with Smith returned to Saturday night bivouac. On Monday 
the One hundred and fifty-fourth Tennessee, a portion of Blythe's 
Mississippi, and one company of Walker's Second Tennessee, under 
Colonel Smith, joined Chalmers on the Confederate right and retired 
with him in the afternoon. The Fifteenth Tennessee was engaged 
under Colonel Maney on the Confederate right. 

Second Brigade. 
(Stephens's.) 

This brigade formed the rear of Polk's corps and bivouacked Satur- 
day night across the Pittsburg road in the following order from left 
to right: Seventh Kentucky, Ninth Tennessee, Sixth Tennessee, First 
Tennessee (battalion) with Smith's (Mississippi) battery in the rear. 
Before the forward movement began on Sunday, Colonel Maney, with 
the First Tennessee (battalion) and the Nineteenth Tennessee from the 
Reserve Corps, was ordered to the right to guard a ford of Lick Creek. 
He did not return until 2.30 p. ra., when he rejoined his brigade at the 
Peach Orchard and assumed command of the same. In his absence 
Colonel Stephens commanded the brigade, which was accompanied by 
General Cheatham in person. 

This brigade moved forward on the Pittsburg Landing road 1 mile 
when, at about 8.30 a. m., it was deployed to the left as a support to 
Bragg's line. After half an hour it was ordered to the right, and at 



85 

10 a. in. reached a position in front of the Hornets' Nest where it 
formed with the right — Sixth Tennessee — in a little field (Wheat Field, 
see Walker's statement) and its left extended to Duncan Field/' 
Smith's battery was placed in position and engaged the enemy about 
an hour when the brigade made two assaults, its right in a thick under- 
brush, its left in an open field. It was repulsed, and its commander, 
Colonel Stephens, disabled. Falling back to the Hamburg road the 
brigade moved to the right at noon, and joined General Breckinridge's 
force south of the Peach Orchard. h Here Colonel Maney joined and 
assumed command of the brigade. At 2.30 p. m. he led the First, 
Ninth, and Nineteenth Tennessee in a charge across the Peach Orchard, 
in which he broke the Union line at the northeast corner of said field. 
The Sixth Tennessee and Seventh Kentucky were brought up by Gen- 
eral Cheatham, and the brigade took position in a small ravine east of 
the Hamburg road and awaited a supply of ammunition. It was not 
further engaged on Sunday, the Nineteenth Tennessee returning to its 
own brigade, Statbam\s. 

The First Tennessee and four companies of the Ninth Tennessee, 
under command of Colonel Maney, bivouacked Sunday night on the 
field, and on Monday were joined by the Fifteenth Tennessee and were 
engaged on the right of the Confederate line under General Withers. 
The Sixth Tennessee and six companies of the Ninth Tennessee retired 
Sunday night with General Cheatham to Saturday night's bivouac, 
and on Monday were engaged with him on the Confederate left until 
2.30 p. m., when they were ordered to retire. 

There is no record where the Seventh Kentucky camped Sunda} T 
night. On Monday it served under Breckinridge, near where some 
buildings were burned. 

Smith's battery was first engaged for one hour in front of Hornets' 
Nest on Sunday. Two of its guns were engaged with General Cheat- 
ham on Monday. 

The First Tennessee, under Colonel Maney, retired from the field 
at 4 p. m. on Monday and marched to Monterey and occupied the 
camp that it had been in before the battle. Colonel Maney claims 
that his battalion reached its camp " with but one single absentee not 
properly accounted for, and this one reached camp early next day." 

RESERVE CORPS. 

(Breckinridge's.) 

This corps of three brigades bivouacked Saturday night along the 
Bark road, between Micke}^'s and the Pittsburg Landing road, in regu- 
lar order of brigades, the First in advance and the Third in the rear. 

At the intersection of the Bark and Pittsburg Landing roads the 
First Brigade was detached on Sunday morning and sent by main road 
directly to Shiloh Church. The Second and Third Brigades were led 
by General Breckinridge along the Bark and Eastern Corinth roads, 
and were put in position about noon by General Johnston in person, 
south of the Peach Orchard, where they were first engaged about 
1 p. m. 

General Breckinridge served personally all day with his Second and 
Third Brigades, uniting them to his First Brigade at the time and

86 

place of Prentiss's surrender, and then conducted the entire command 
to the east along the ridge south of Dill Branch to near the river, 
where it was under fire from gunboats and batteries. At dark Breck- 
inridge withdrew to encampments of the enemy. 

On Monday he was engaged with his three brigades uearly intact on 
south side of Corinth road behind Duncan Field, his right joining 
Hardee about the Peach Orchard. When the army retired Breckin- 
ridge formed the rear guard. 

Morgan's squadron of Kentucky cavalry and Phil. Thompson's com- 
pany (Kentucky cavalry) were attached to this corps, but do not appear 
to have been engaged. 

First Brigadi . 

(Trabue'H.) 

This brigade formed the advance of the reserve corps and reached 
the forks of the Bark and Pittsburg roads about 8 a. m. Sunday morn- 
ing, April 6, 1862. It was sent forward on Pittsburg road to support 
General Polk's line and soon after deployed to the left of the road in 
the following order from left to right: Fourth Kentucky, Sixth Ken- 
tucky, Thirty-first Alabama, Fifth Kentucky, Fourth Alabama, Crew's 
Tennessee battalion, Third Kentucky, with Cobb's (Kentucky) battery 
and Byrne's (Mississippi) battery in the rear. 

It passed Shiloh Church in line of battle about 11.30 a. m. — the 
Fifth Kentuck}' opening to right and left to pass the Church (Lofland's 
statement). It advanced due north from the Church to the "verge of 
a large crescent-shaped field." Here the Third Kentucky. Fourth 
Alabama, and Crew's battalion and Byrne's battery were detached by 
General Beauregard and ordered to support General Anderson on the 
right. The Third and Fourth Kentucky remained detached all day: 
there is no record of place where they were engaged. Cobb's battery 
was put in position in front of the Fifth Kentucky in the avenue in 
front of Marsh's brigade camp. Colonel Trabue sheltered his com- 
mand in a slight ravine, on the verge of the field, and rode forward to 
make observations. He discovered two camps to his left and front 
(Hare's and Marsh's), the enemy still oceupjingthe camps. He moved 
his command by the left flank into this field and confronted the enemy. 
Here he was joined on the left by parts of Russell's and Cleburne's 
brigades — Twenty-second Tennessee, part of Eleventh Louisiana, 
Fifth Tennessee (Venable), and Fifth Tennessee (Hill) — and on his 
right by part of Anderson's brigade. The Union troops mentioned 
by Trabue in his front were the Fort} T -sixth Ohio, Sixth Iowa, and 
Thirteenth Missouri. After an engagement of one hour and a quar- 
ter, commencing about noon, Trabue ordered a charge and drove the 
enemy through their camp (Marsh's) and into the woods in the rear, 
where he encountered and dispersed a Missouri regiment and soon 
after reached the field where Prentiss surrendered, where his left 
joined the troops from the right, and Crew's battalion was detached 
with prisoners. In the meantime Cobb's battery; occupying its first 
position in Marsh's camp, had been taken and retaken. It had lost all 
of its horses and was abandoned. Four of its guns were removed 
with mules Sunday night, but the battery was not again in action. 
Byrne's battery was engaged in Ruggles's artillery line. 



87 

After the surrender of Prentiss, Trabue, with the Fourth, Fifth, 
and Sixth Kentucky and Thirty-first Alabama joined Breckinridge 
and moved down the ridge south of Dill Branch and occupied a posi- 
tion, on the crest of the hill, at mounds, overlooking the Tennessee 
River, where he came under tire from gunboats, which he endured 
until nearly dark, when he withdrew to the crossroads, where he was 
joined by the Third Kentucky, Fourth Alabama, and Byrne's battery, 
and then retired to the camps of the Sixth Iowa and Forty-sixth Ohio, 
where he passed Sunday night. Trabue says he rode until 11 o'clock, 
trying to find a general officer to whom he could report for orders, 
and then sent an aid with escort, who rode all night without success. 

On Monday morning the brigade formed on the Purdy Road, Byrne's 
battery at Owl Creek Bridge. In a short time the brigade was moved 
by the flank to a point three-fourths of a mile east of Shiloh Church, 
and formed in line on the left and perpendicular to the road, Byrne's 
battery on the road at edge of a field (Duncan's), with Anderson" on 
the left and Bowen's brigade on the right. This position was held 
four hours and then the brigade, except the Fourth Kentucky and 
Fourth Alabama, moved to the right of the Duncan House and was 
then engaged for one hour more, when it fell back to the right of 
Shiloh Church. The Fourth Kentucky and Fourth Alabama were 
engaged in severe conflict north of Duncan Field, where they lost very 
heavily. Major Monroe, Fourth Kentuck}^ was killed here. At 
Shiloh Chureh the contest was continued two hours, when the brigade 
fell back to the forks of Bark and Pittsburg roads, where it remained 
as a rear guard Monday night, and on Tuesday retired to Mickey's, 
where it remained three days. 

Second Brigade. 
(Bowen's. ) 

From its bivouac Saturday night on the road toward Mickey's this 
brigade marched by the Bark and Eastern Corinth roads Sunday morn- 
ing to a position between the Peach Orchard and Locust Grove Creek, 
where it formed in battle line at 12 a o'clock under the personal direc- 
tion of General Johnston in the following order from left to right: 
Ninth Arkansas, Tenth Arkansas, Second Confederate, First Missouri, 
with Hudson's (Mississippi) and Watson's (Louisiana) batteries in the 
rear, its left 800 yards to rear and en echelon to Jackson's brigade. 
From this position it moved forward at 12.30 & p. in. and became 
engaged, in conjunction with Jackson, in an attack upon McArthur's 
brigade just east of the Peach Orchard. The attack was successful; 
the Union line was driven back and pursued to the northeast corner of 
the Peach Orchard. General Johnston, following close to the rear of 
this brigade, was killed at 2.30 p. m. 

Bowen was next engaged at Wicker Field with troops at the camp 
of the Twenty-eighth Illinois for two hours, when he was wounded 
and his brigade fell back to Seventy-first Ohio camp, where Colonel 
Martin took command and moved forward in time to join Breckinridge 
in his movement toward the river after the surrender of Prentiss. 
Martin says he halted within 300 or 400 yards of the river when the 

a 10 War Records, 618. & 10 War Records, 404.

batteries near Pittsburg and the gunboats opened on him, and being 
nearly night he fell back " to the first encampment the farthest from 
the river" and stayed all night. On Monday he was engaged under 
Breckinridge and fell back with him to the Bark road, where he 
bivouacked Monday as rear guard. 

No mention in the reports of either Hudson's or Watson's batteries. 

Third Brigade. 

(Stat ham' h.) 

This brigade formed the rear of the army and consisted of the Fif- 
teenth and Twenty-second Mississippi, the Nineteenth, Twentieth, 
Twenty-eighth, and Forty-fifth Tennessee, and Rutledge's Tennessee 
battery. 

It followed Bowen's brigade, and at noon was put in line south 
of Peach Orchard en echelon to and 800 yards in rear of Bowen. It 
moved forward into the Orchard, and at about 2.20 p. m. was put in 
position by Governor Harris and ordered to attack the Union forces 
at Bloody Pond. It moved to this attack in conjunction with Colonel 
Maney. After the surrender it joined Breckinridge in his movement 
east on the ridge. It is not known where it bivouacked Sunday night. 
On Monday it was doubtless engaged with Breckinridge, but there are 
no reports of brigades or regiments. 

Rutledge's battery was first in action on a hill in the rear of the 
brigade, then reported to General Ruggles and formed a part of his 
artillery line. On Monday it was near Shiloh Church. The Nine- 
teenth Tennessee went with Colonel Maney Sunday to Lick Creek 
and was with him in the charge at Peach Orchard at 2.30 p. m., and at 
the time of the surrender of Prentiss was with Colonel Looney, Thirty- 
eighth Tennessee, at the camp of the Third Iowa. 

The Twentieth Tennessee must have been engaged Monday with 
Breckinridge — its colonel, Battle, was captured in the vicinity of Lost 
Field by the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania. 

UNATTACHED CAVALRY. 

Forrest's (Tennessee) regiment was guarding the fords of Lick Creek 
until about 2.30 p. m. Sunday, when it arrived on the field and sup- 
ported the left of the Twenty-sixth Alabama in the thick wood west 
of Peach Orchard. 

Clanton's (Alabama) regiment moved down the Bark road to Lick 
Creek, and then down the banks of the Tennessee River, guarding the 
right flank of the army all day Sunday. 

Wharton's Texas Rangers was on the left and at about 4.30 p. m. 
Sunday made a charge at Cavalry Field; was repulsed and Wharton 
wounded. It encamped on the left of the army and supported Ketchum's 
battery Monday, and in the afternoon charged the Union right and was 
repulsed. 

Adams's (Mississippi) cavalry was at ford of Lick Creek until 2.30 
p. m. Sunday, then in reserve. 

"Louisiana Cavahy" is mentioned; not certain whether or not it 
was Scott's First Louisiana.

UNION FORCES. 

(a) The "for duty" in the First Division of the Army of the Tennessee is made up from field 
returns of April 3, which is the latest return on file giving regiments in detail. The "extra duty," 
"sick," and "in arrest" are from consolidated brigade reports of March 31, 1862. 

(b) The Sixteenth Iowa arrived at Pittsburg Landing on the 5th of April, 1862, and was assigned to 
the Sixth Division. The morning report was made and is included in the report of Second Brigade, 
Sixth Division, for April 5, 1862. The regiment was preparing, on Sunday morning, to move out to 
the position of Sixth Division, when General Grant ordered it to duty at "the Landing and later to a 
position in McClernand's line; it was not engaged with its division. 

(c) The Fifteenth Iowa arrived at Pittsburg Landing Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, under orders 
to report to General Prentiss. Upon disembarking from steamboat it was, by General Grant, ordered 
to duty atthe Landing with the Sixteenth Iowa, and later to a position in McClernand's line. It is 
not included in the Sixth Division returns of April 5. 

(d) The Eighteenth Wisconsin arrived on the field April 5, 1862. It is not included in the returns 
made by the Sixth Division April 5, but it joined the Second Brigade of that division and encamped 
on the left of the brigade Saturday evening and was engaged as left regiment of Prentiss's division on 
Sunday. 

{<■) The Twenty-third Missouri arrived on the field Sunday morning, April 6, 1862, and reported 
to General Prentiss at the " Hornets' Nest" about 9 a. m. and fought with him the remainder of the 
day. 

(/) Unassigned troops were all present on the 6th or 7th, but had not been assigned to a command 
and had not been taken up on the returns. 

(g) The Fourteenth Wisconsin arrived from Savannah Sunday night, and on Monday fought with 
Smith's brigade, Army of the Ohio. The number present is estimated from returns of the Depart- 
ment of the Mississippi, March 31, 1862. 

(Ji) The Fifteenth Michigan fought on Monday with the Fourth Brigade, Army of the Ohio. 

(/) Guns lost on Sunday by the Army of the Tennessee were: Burrows's battery, 6; Ross's batterv, 
5; Waterhouse's battery, 3; Hiekenlooper's battery, 2; Dresser's battery, 4; Schwartz's batterv, 2; 
McAllister's battery, 1. Abandoned, Behr's battery, 5; Meyer's battery, 6. Total, 34. 

(j) The Army of the Ohio has very meager returns on file except as to the Fourth Division. The 
Second, Fifth, and Sixth Divisions are estimated from returns of March 20, March 31, and April 30, 
1862. Compared with the Fourth Division returns of same dates and with Nelson's report. (" Pres- 
ent at Shiloh," vol. 10, War Records, pp. 325, 326.) General Buell says, in letter on file: "I do not 
know whether the information was available at the time of making my report, but I have had it in 
my mind that my strength was between 18,000 and 19,000." He further says: "I estimate McCook's 
present for duty at 7,552." Only one brigade (Wagner's) of the Sixth Division was engaged. Gen- 
eral Garfield says that his brigade did not reach the field in time to become engaged. Oulv Wagner's 
brigade, estimated at 2,000, is included in present for duty of the Sixth Division. 

CONFEDERATE FORCES. 

The tabulated statement on page 398, volume 10, War Records, "Marched from Corinth April 3, 
1S02," appears to have been compiled from returns of March 31 and April 1, 1862, and was not actually 
made out April 3. (See part 2 of vol. 10, War Records, pp. 377, 378, 382.) 

(/) The Third Corps, Hardee's, in tabulated statement, page 398, volume 10, has aggregate present, 
infantry, 5,750. On page 382, part 2, volume 10, return of April 1, Hardee's Corps has aggregate present 
5,750, showing that the two returns are identical. Both returns are also alike in artillery. In the 
return on page 382, part 2, a note says that Hardee's return is of only two brigades, Wood's brigade 
being omitted, but is found on page 377 of part 2, volume 10. If Wood's brigade is omitted from 
return of April 1 it is also omitted from return of " Marched from Corinth " and accounts for the dif- 
ference between said last return and Hardee's official report, page 567, volume 10, which gives "effect- 
ive present at Shiloh, 6,789." He had, April 1, present for duty, 6,758. (Enlisted for duty, 6,320; extra 
duty. 402; in arrest, 7; effective total, 6,789.) 

(m) The term "effective" is not uniformly used in the Confederate reports. In returns "Marched 
from Corinth," page 398, volume 10, "total effective" seems to include "enlisted men for duty," 
"enlisted men on extra duty," and "enlisted men in arrest." While in Bragg's corps report, part 2, 
volume 10, page 378, the total effective of Ruggles's division, of Cavalry Brigade, and of seven batteries 
of artillery is in each case less than the enlisted men present for dutv. So in the return of First Corps, 
April 1, 1862, part 2, volume 10, page 382, the total effective and the enlisted men for dutv are the 
same, except as to the infantry of the First Division, where the total effectives is less than the enlisted 
men present for duty. Officers are in no case included in "effective;" they are accounted foronlv 
in "aggregated." 

(n) The cavalry returns are very indefinite. Colonel Jordan, page 396, volume 10, gives "total effec- 
tive cavalry," 4,382; and this has been assumed to be correct. In tabulated statement (ante) Georgia 
Dragoons, 80, were reported with Third Corps. Deduct these and 1S7 extra-duty men, and we will have 
4.115 cavalry present for duty, as shown in recapitulation. The cavalry returns of the First, Second, 
and Third Corps, page 382, part 2, volume 10, corresponds with return of cavalry, page 398, volume 
10. Neither of these returns include cavalry of Reserve Corps, 785 (see p. 377, part 2), nor the unat- 
tached cavalry of Wharton and Adams, about 1,375. 

(o) These estimates agree very nearly with Adjutant-General Jordan's report, volume 10, page 396: 

Effective total (enlisted men only) 40, 335 

Add proportion of officers, about 3, 000 

Effective officers and men 43, 335 

Field returns of April 10, volume 10, page 399: 

Effective total, enlisted men, after the battle 32,212

Killed, wounded, and missing at Shiloh ..10,699 

Effective before the battle 45, 170

la Life of Albert Sidney Johnston, by his son, William Preston Johnston, the Confederate forces 
present at Shiloh are given from tabulated statements on page 398, volume 10, War Records. 

No attempt is made to explain the difference between that report and Jordan's report on page 396 
or that of Hardee's official report. 

(p) In his estimate of Grant's "present for duty," April 6, William Preston Johnston enumerates the 
Fifth Ohio Battery, 137, twice, once with the Second Division and again with the Sixth Division; 
Munch' s Minnesota battery, 126, twice, mice with Fifth Division and again with Sixth Division. The 
Fourteenth Wisconsin ami Fifteenth Michigan, 1,483, are counted as present on Sunday. He omits 
from his list Carmiehael's cavalry, 64, making these corrections, 137+126+1,488—64=1,687, too many 
by his estimate. He gives " present for duty," April 6, five divisions of Grant's army 41,543. Deduct 
his overestimate of 1,687 leaves 39,856, within 26 of the same number as herein tabulated. In William 
Preston Johnston's estimate of Army of the Ohio he gives its total strength 21,579, making no deduc- 
tion for troops that did not arrive upon the field until after the battle. 

(c) The "present for duty," has been taken, in each case, as the number engaged in the battle. No 
attempt has been made to eliminate the noncombatants, because a teamster driving an ammunition 
wagon or an ambulance is just as necessary as the man with the musket, and just as mnch a part of 
the fighting force. 

If noncombatants were excluded the Onion Army would doubtless be reduced to 33,000, the num- 
ber given by General Grant as "effective present on Sunday." The Confederate Army, by a like 
computation, would not exceed 40,000, the number claimed by General Johnston.
